Weekly Challenge #94: Balance 04-07-2009, 05:22 AM
Weekly Challenge #94: Balance Balance: subject placement within the frame.
I'm probably the worst candidate to host much less judge a challenge, but since the honor fell upon my shoulders, I decided I would come up with a challenge that tests one's ability and more importantly ones idea(s) regarding composition. hopefully this will inspire everyone to try and achieve such a state [of balance]. not terribly difficult, yet vague enough to leave room for interpretation. as a street photographer I generally fail at this quite often. it is an essential element to the basics of photographic composition yet can be very hard to achieve with most subject matter. give it your best shot and lets see what you come up with.
contest will close Tuesday, April 14 (7 days) I will post the judging results Wednesday, April 15
inspiring enough Gary? yea probably not. oh well.
