Field of composition

I know, at least in my mind that there is always the age old question on composition. How close is too close, am I too far away? I guess the way to answer this is always in the mind of the person seeing the shot. Ask yourself the question, what about this picture do I want people to see? What do I want them to get out of this and how do I help them do that? Much more so with the dramatic landscape shots or the macro style closeups of flowers and insects that I will be going after in the spring and summer months. But this little scallop shell I found in the sand held some secrets inside that I wanted to share with you. Not to be a deep thinker or anything of the sort but, I do find it amazing the ways that life always finds a way. One tenant moved out and several others started a community.

Maybe neither one of these shots is right, or wrong for that matter. It is more a matter of perspective.
