Thanks Michael, for the explanation. Thanks Aurelia for initializing the discussion.That the shapes are all unequal was mere luck. I did consider composition by positioning the tree off center ;-)
One last question i have on dominant value. The painting doesn't have one. The coursly modified one (artrage software) does.
Is composition better, same or worse?
Interesting discussion. Actually the bridge line sits just about on the "Golden Section" ..which is ideal. I kind of like elements that "challenge" the center anyway ...always gives a little tension. Even if the bridge line was at the exact center, like Thomas notes, the line is broken with varied sized shapes. .....anyway, SOMETHING has got to be in the middle. The rule is more about avoiding EQUAL divisions of space, then it is with something being in the middle. BTW, I really like how you have every major shape a different size ..good job Thomas.
I comment again. I though the comments immediately go to your inbox when you press "add comment". I like this one too. Nice atmospheric perspective and I like your foreground greens and the way you add a little bit of the complementary red here and there. I also like your eye path how you lead us into the painting. Nice job. But composition wise: rule of 3rds. The line of the bridge divide the canvas in two almost equal size.
Aag! I want to add something and press delete. You got my message?
