Let me say up front, I expect that I am just hopelessly out of touch. Now let me go on to say, I hope it isn't the case.
Since cave paintings some basic understanding, if not rules, of composition has emerged. Yes all rules are to be broken, but for a reason I hope. If you throw out the frame work there is nothing left.
I truly believe that framework (composition techniques) is not arbitrary but based in what is pleasing to the eye. Somethings just look awkward to me and I cant for the life of me see why they are done that way. I am told it is the genre. Maybe so and I am out of touch, but it seems the genre would want to have the pictures be pleasing to the eye of every viewer. There are overwhelming reasons that a compositon rule is broken, but I think that you can easily see why it was done in a good picture and you forgive it. Okay color me lost in the new age.
It's a simple question really, if a thing looks wrong, is it still wrong, or are we now in a place in photography that nothing is wrong any more its all just a matter of personal taste. If so then all I can say is
Awesome dude....
Also let me say yes, I know that I am an arrogant P****
