Photo by: @rems.visuals Composition & Framing What works well: Compositionally, the lamp is a bit of a double-edged sword (more on that down below), but on the positive side it absolutely works as a spotlight device. Your eye goes straight to the lamp first, and from there naturally down to the man underneath it. Framing is solid overall. Our subject sits nicely between two posts, which subtly box him in without it feeling forced. The man and the lamp are both off-centre, whi

Photo by: @susonsjack Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The layering is pretty strong. You have the modern James-Simon-Galerie in the foreground (along with the stairs and the man on the bottom right), the classical building behind it, and then the TV tower peeking through in the background, that creates a really nice sense of depth. The clean, minimalist geometry of the foreground gallery building contrasts nicely with the more detailed histori

photo by: @laura.gzo Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The natural corridor created by the buildings on each side is pretty great. It funnels your eye straight toward the man and then continues upward to the dome, all of that creates a strong sense of depth and a nice 3D effect. There are leading lines here, but they are subtle, especially the two yellow stripes on the ground. The car headlights behind the man, in a way, also count as leading li

Photo by: @petewan ds Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The S-shaped leading line is, in my opinion, the star of the composition. It is one of those rare cases where the environment naturally carves out a perfect visual path for us photographers to use. There are actually two main leading lines, the row of concrete bollards and the faint reflective lines in the ground beside them (the fact that it rained before really plays into the cards of the

Photo by: @qs.street Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: Composition is pretty strong, the alley naturally forms a long tunnel, and that tunnel effect adds a ton of depth and the 3D effect. The leading lines aren’t just the walls, the cobblestones. the shadow/light, but especially the polls on the right guide your eye toward the centre, which is a nice touch. The layers nice as well, we have the textured ground, polls scooters and balconies, the p

Photo by: @p_varsic Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: Leading lines are definitely strong here, the yellow strip on the ground, the whole train (/the edges), all the floor markings, even the reflections on the metal. It all creates a ton of depth. It is also nice that the leading lines coming from the train basically start right from the edges of the frame, which makes the whole perspective feel very intentional and immersive. The orange ceiling

Photo by: @box_box_you Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The composition is pretty solid. Everything sort of funnels you straight toward the train → the walls, the balconies, the hanging tarps, and especially the curve of the tracks with the slight shimmer. The thick, cluttered environment creates great layers depth and visual interest. Even though the space is tiny in itself, it still feels rich in therms of exploration possibilities. The littl

Photo by: @capital.shutter Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: Our subject is nicely centred and framed by all the buses, they all form a natural tunnel that squeezes your eye right to the silhouette. The glowing light path on the wet ground acts like a visual funnel, guiding your eye straight into the centre of the image where the subject is standing/walking. The layering is great as well, foreground bus, mid-ground bus, deeper bus, then the pers

Photo by: @therealamogh Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The leading lines are pretty good, the foreground tram rails pull you right into the photo and stretch all the way up the hill, giving the whole image an incredible sense of depth. They also create a strong visual flow. The perspective is also very nice, you have that long, vertical stretch of the road disappearing into the distance, which gives the photo a very surreal/almost ‘‘impossibl

Photo by: @leanderhoefler Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The framing is pretty smart, minimal yet balanced. The bridge sits perfectly in the upper third, cutting the photo cleanly, and the woman is placed beautifully right below it —> that placement creates a strong compositional link between our subject and the bridge. The timing here is obviously great, catching the woman right where the bridge pillar visually “points” down to her feels ver

photo by: @susonsjack Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: The composition is well thought out, the path and the trees create a natural tunnel that pulls you right into the photo. The leading lines are also nice, stretching from the foreground all the way into the distance, which gives the photo the 3D depth effect. Layering wise we have got the woman and child in the front, then the cyclist mid-frame, and the distant background. That separation gi

Photo by: @patrick.noack Let’s Analyse this Image: Composition & Framing What works well: Composition-wise, this photo is definitely interesting. In my opinion there are three main subjects → the man crossing the street, the sun, and the TV tower and they are all sitting in this sort of triangular balance. Your eye kind of bounces between them, which gives the image a nice flow and a touch of energy. The leading lines of the street are subtle but powerful. They stretch into t
