Hi,
I am constantly confused by trying to "do the right thing" when composing a shot. I tend to get a lot of comments about not having a clear focal point. I try to apply the rule of thirds, therefor not centering the subject, especially when doing a landscape. But a landscape has so much to take in, why is it better or more "proper" photography to have one clear cut focal point rather than the whole shot being taken in? I do try to keep from over-crowding a photo with too many things to be taken in but for instance, with a wide open landscape: hills, a few trees, maybe cows or horses in the b/g, why is that not as good, technically, artistically, than a single subject house with landscape "icing"?
