Cleanlinessby
perotyComment by e301: Next to Godliness ... well. In such a regular, clean composition, it is fo course the breaking of the regularity that forces the attention, that draws the eye, and that becomes in effect the point. Here that is the blue basket and that open door: there's a parallel of elements there, the cicrcular objects from different angles.
Also, I think in such a simple situation the regularity of the framing also matters - and I think you fall down a little on that: there's a small tilt to the right it seems, and wide-angle distortion affects the verticals to each side, which removes some of the effect of the sqaureness of so much of this - and it's that squareness which serves to make those two circular points so much more outstanding.
The blue basket functions as a strong element because of it's colour in this white world, and is given added weight by that parallel with the door - the only genuinely curved major element in this composition.
Overall, this shows I think a top eye for a composition, and a strong sense of balance of elements within frame: whether that be an instinctive thing, or from much thought doesn't really matter - it works. However, when I come to look for a sense of the meaningful in here - a sense of emotion, or of pertinence, I find I'm struggling. Photography can, I think, do that more than any other 'art'form - and GCI, painting, drawing and the like seem more apt to this kinb of composition. And that is, of course, a personal opinion.
