You are invited to upload one or more of your landscape photos and, if you’d like, to accompany your image with some commentary: challenges you faced in making the image? your intent for the image? settings? post-processing decisions? why you did what you did? the place and time? or an aspect you’d like feedback on? And please feel free to ask questions of others who have posted images or to join the discussion. If you don’t feel like using words, that’s OK too—unaccompanied images (or unaccompanied words, for that matter) are also very much welcomed. As for the technicalities, the usual forum guidelines apply: files < 1 MB; image size <1000 px maximum dimension.

 

As a rule, I don’t think about Compositional Rules while I’m making a photo. Even so, few of my images have ended up flouting the Rules as flagrantly as this one…

Leslie, sometimes one must first be a master of the rules in order to flout them effectively. Case in point: Vincent Van Gogh. Frankly, I'm not even sure which compositional "rules" you're flouting in this image, and I quite like it. I find it evocative.

As someone who stops at red lights in the wee hours on empty streets (albiet in a center lane), I'm always thinking of the rules of composition. More than the traditional "rule of thirds," I look for balance between elements of the image, physical or tonal, and sometimes a degree of OOF.
