cizucu Presents 'Choose Best Composition' | Challenge #282

'Choose Best Composition' is a global online photo contest organized by cizucu, open to all creators registered on the platform. The contest curates outstanding submissions to discover new talents and support the community.

This time, the theme is 'Creative Composition.'

Even with the same location and subject, the atmosphere of a photo can vary greatly depending on the photographer. While elements like the camera and retouching play a role, composition is one of the key factors that significantly influence how a photo is perceived.

Take this opportunity to capture photos with a focus on composition and include a caption explaining your creative approach. We look forward to your submissions!

A photo capturing a historic gassho-style house framed within a natural frame. By using a framing composition, the viewer's gaze is drawn to the central house while simultaneously evoking the feeling of stepping into another world. Such bold compositions are both humorous and captivating.

A photo capturing a waterfall in nature. While the waterfall is the main subject, the wide-angle composition immerses the viewer in the scene. The mystical sight of a waterfall surrounded by vast nature leaves a profound emotional impact.

A photo of a lone bench in the middle of a grass field. The centered composition and slightly pulled-back angle emphasize the empty space, creating a sense of isolation. The absence of people and the natural surroundings highlight the 'discomfort,' which is further accentuated by the composition.
