When I am in the field searching for compelling compositions, I am often looking for subjects with a strong graphic nature, balanced with an airy spaciousness. Without the space around the form of the primary subject, things can quickly get busy and muddled, and the subject fails to stand out and shine as the star of the show. That’s never good.
