Thursday's challenge

Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge is: "Breaking the (Compositional) Rules"

I probably break the "rules" all the time - the only ones I know are those I learnt at art school, so here's my 'take' on today's challenge, do you think I'm on the
right track? To my eye, its unbalanced & I skewed the pots to help emphasize the fault...

Refer to the FORUM for other contributors, see http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?p=144034#144034

That background is my rose garden - the pots are sitting on the railing of our side balcony.

Great shot. It might be unbalanced, but colors and lines compensate it greatly.

Looks like a nicely composed Panorama ;-) great DOF !

Wei O'Connell		13-Oct-2006 00:19
Great shot. I really like the background.

Guest		12-Oct-2006 23:29
I like this image, I don't think it's that unbalanced and I really like the DOF, GMV!

Barbara Heide		12-Oct-2006 22:47
I like it!

Dave Wixx		12-Oct-2006 22:09
What were you making - rosehip soup, now that's breaking the rules.

Chris		12-Oct-2006 22:06
It's a very strange effect - but I like it lots! Chris

Coleen Perilloux Landry		12-Oct-2006 20:25
I am not sure you broke any rules. It looks quite artsy to me.

Ray :)		12-Oct-2006 20:17
I think it would have been in keeping had the handles been in front of that green instead of a dark area. Nice idea.

Bill Ewart Jr		12-Oct-2006 20:02
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a Rose garden!!!!!! Skewed up another shot huh?

Jannik Lindquist		12-Oct-2006 19:47
Great fun :-)

John Beck		12-Oct-2006 19:36
I think you 'broke' something, maybe even the rules. Looks good too me.

James Ross		12-Oct-2006 18:31
The broken rules work great for this. :-)

Guest		12-Oct-2006 17:51
I really like this!

Nicki Thurgar		12-Oct-2006 16:34
I like the composition of this! Love the background too!

JSWaters		12-Oct-2006 16:34
It does tend to teeter a bit, but it only adds a tension. Wonderful color. Jenene

Guest		12-Oct-2006 16:31
Love this shot, nice composition & dof.

wernere01		12-Oct-2006 16:25
Beautiful composition.

beverley harrison		12-Oct-2006 15:11
i love that b/g!!

carol j. phipps		12-Oct-2006 15:01
Nice color and form.

Dan Chusid		12-Oct-2006 14:08
Never leave a hot pot on a countertop that will scorch. Mom told me that rule. : )

Eckhart Derschmidt		12-Oct-2006 13:10
The pots may me off-centre, but as the black shadow in the background is almost symmetric, this does not spoil the total composition but rather make it stronger. Good shot!

Faye White		12-Oct-2006 12:14
very nice!

caveman_lee		12-Oct-2006 11:54
I like the background color and bokeh. Nice shot.

royalld		12-Oct-2006 11:15
I like this shot... I never learned any rules of composition and I see nothing wrong here.

Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography		12-Oct-2006 11:11
Superb composition :)))

Guest		12-Oct-2006 10:44
I think it's a cool shot - nice abstract with the blurred background

Zak		12-Oct-2006 10:18
I like the image too heheh

laine82		12-Oct-2006 10:13
That's risky business leaving them balance that way...definately out of bounds, Von. Well done.

Jola Dziubinska		12-Oct-2006 09:33
I like it too, especially the green bg with nice DOF.

Sheila		12-Oct-2006 08:20
Is it 'wrong' because the subject is too far over to the left? I actually quite like the image :-)
