The Rules of Composition

Created and judged by Roy Henstock ARPS

Open Rating Results
Brief
This contest is created and judged by a member of the Photocrowd community. Want to run your own? Find out more >

In this contest I would like to see your photos showing the use of one or more of the 'rules' of composition. When first trying to master the skills of photography we often learn about the compositional 'rules' such as the use of diagonal lines, negative space, leading lines and the well known rule of thirds and so on. Your image must demonstrate at least one of the rules but may use more than this, to create a stunning image. Black and White or colour images are welcome.

How it works

Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.

Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
