Oh the possibilities when composing a photograph. The first person who taught me what exactly a composition was - is Ben Roberts. Instead of just flailing the camera around aimlessly take a step back and consider what you're looking at through the lens. Eventually pieces come together and a composition can be formed. And layering, he always told me, is what the great photos have. Michael Paulsen from the Houston Chronicle told me that you know you have a successful photograph when your eye ventures through each element of a photograph - and goes from one to the next until it gets back to the first.
Take it look at some of the compositions I've been playing with in the last couple of weeks.
