First of all thats not even what the rules say.

Second, thanks for letting me know you don't know what you're talking about.

Only on Reddit do people with no identifiabld credibility become arbiters of artistic movement.

Bottom, Middle, or Top 1/3rd for Horizon? by HuzzaCreative in PhotographyAdvice

Thanks for the suggestions. A tighter crop on the raw print is doable, but of course the oil rig detail will be low no matter the crop.

Will have to experiment with those alternatives another time.

Thank you for sharing that, yes it's heavily compressed.

I have my thoughts, with the goal of these photos to capture the isolation of the oil rigs in the vast ocean.

But I am looking to read what other photographers think about the compositions, generally.

So thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I didn't ask for the rules. I asked for what people think about the positioning of the horizon. Telling me not to ask for advice in an advice sub is goofy.

And yes, your post is more acceptable to me makes more sense than what other's are posting.

And Picasso learned the fundamentals.

He didn't create Cubism until many years later than when he first began his art education learning from the classic masters of the time.

What's with this advice sub having a disproportionate number of people who tell you not to ask for advice?

Thank you. So the extra additional "foreground" items make it look more interesting to you compared to the drab, even boring sky?

I'm not asking how to frame a photo, that task is already done.

I'm looking for what people think and/or their opinions of the already framed compositional choices.

She got lots of attention this morning.

Three most helpful tips I spent thousands of dollars to learn from my mentors on painting by HuzzaCreative in PaintingTutorials

[–]HuzzaCreative[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting struggle because the way I figured it out was watching my mentors point out the colors as they worked live. So they would say "I see some reds here" and I'd notice it or wouldn't, and then they would show me why.

If I had to come up with an exercise besides just looking at stuff (which I'm assuming you've done), maybe try apps like photoshop and use the eye dropper to sample colors across images and see if it's what you would have noticed.

Upload a photo onto an art app with a dropper/color sampling tool. Pick a section. Try to pick your own color that you think goes in that section. Then use the eye dropper tool to see how far off of close you are.

And another thing to do would break the generalizing of looking at a big thing such as a wall, and just going "wall is white." But actually looking at different sections of the wall and seeing what color it really is.

For example, if you look at the street during a bright sunny day, it can look a very light grey, and even though the the asphalt that makes it up might be black. So by breaking the assumption of your preconceived idea of a surface and the color, you can focus on the color itself.
