true.
When I'm photographing landscapes, generally I try and include 4 major elements: something in the foreground, some stuff in the mid ground, and some distance and something to connect them (so some kind of line, a few broken lines, or even a point in between to draw the eye). Paths, roads etc are all good if they move the eye into the frame. Balance is important, so your eye should move around the frame (but not out of it, so contain curves of beaches if you can etc). For simple landcapes look for an element tat grabs your attention and emphasize it, but include something that ids complementary eg a reflection. If you can get the eye to zig-zag throgh an image it's a good thing!
