Compose Your Frame

This is an unedited photo I took in Trieste, Italy. I feel the rule of thirds falls on the bottom right corner with the wavy sidewalk and the 2 individuals walking, as well as the trees on the right side, I imagine the image diced into 9 pieces as was shown to us on the board the other day. The main vector is a the diagonal dock/sidewalk leading to the middle of the sea. This was taken at Miramare, a castle at the edge of Italy and Slovenia. I think the principles of a successful photo exist for a reason, the entice and draw the eyes in specific directions, even if unintentional.

Again another raw image from the top of the Duomo di Milano. The vectors here are self explanatory as the plethora of spires are layered in the image, and the diagonal structure across the frame, ending in a point in the lower right corner, following the rule of thirds as well. The art of the ancient building speaks for itself and provides a multitude of images to influence the viewer. Mostly all architecture in Italy, and I imagine across the globe, have similar design principles intact for the same purpose of drawing the viewer in, establishing beauty and sending out a desired style or message. In a lot of places I was able to visit in Italy I think the message would be greatness by the vastly huge building and design principles, even in such historic times.
