(14,559 posts)Back in my college days I taught Photo 101. The first thing after f stops and shutter speed were the "rules of composition". The class got an assignment each week to illustrate one of these " rules" either by executing it or breaking it to good effect.
Texture
Leading lines
Rule of thirds
Dramatic lighting
And all the others.
It would afford a lot of leeway for subject matter and creativity. Everything from portraits to sweeping scenics could be used to make an entry.
Just a thought . . .

I agree that having a subject that is one of the principles of photography would give a lot of room to venture forward for the participants.

(46,436 posts)sometimes, especially when I'm cropping. It's amazing how moving the boundaries of a photo just a little bit one way or the other makes such a big difference in the impact it has.

(46,436 posts)Texture or leading lines would be fun.
But I just want to hear some ideas thrown out, and then I'll make up my mind. I don't think I'll do a poll.

(22,380 posts)it was a great contest and I loved your entry, the more I saw it, the more I fell for it.
This is to congratulate you, and all the finalists!
I have no suggestion. I'll go with the flow................
