Yes, I like those, Merg. Many interesting compositions there!

Yes, I like those, Merg. Many interesting compositions there!
unfortunately that's the worse of the two, Kirk
Of course IMO
failing to understand what the op was asking so much that you'd think the icarus or other examples given did not truly fit in with the thread because of the superficial
"the thread is about subjects literally cut off or directly on the edge" is pretty significant
not just for the thread
but for the site
not only in terms of aiding composition
If you miss it
how many others have/would have missed it
I think it's pretty important
You're just confused, H2o
you are, in fact, asking for the "other" examples :)
How do you like that? lol
I'm quite sure you are, though
you gave these as examples in your own original post
cutting things off on the edges is really just a a pushing of the envelope from the "others" which itself is really just a pushing of the envelope from the rule of thirds which is just an aid- a simplification of compositional balance
it's clear you are asking about "asymmetrical balance"
you "cannot" cut something off or place near the edges or have "a secret garden" without balancing those on the opposite side
I don't like it very well, SOS
and I'm not "loling"
you must have missed
the last paragraph of my initial post
I've been confused about many things in my life
I was not confused about what I was asking here
I stated my request quite clearly
and, in defense of Kirk
he knew EXACTLY what I wanted
I'm not particularly offended
it's just internet babble :D
keep those examples coming
what sos thinks I was asking for
or what I really was asking for :)

couldn't help but think of these two images from Mr. Winston Link

The difference that lantern (which was actually one of the photographer's flashbulbs) makes is... something
No Merg, I was not familiar with Steiner. I'm relatively new to the photo world, especially B&W. Thank you very much for calling him to my attention. In addition to the sort of image I asked about here, I also really liked the tall image with the tree in front of a building.
How do people misunderstand playful jokings and emoticons
low emotional intelligence, i suspect
:cool:
geez, dude
Now I'm kinda like :confused: :rolleyes:, though
It's unfortunate that you have missed your own first remarks on compositon to your first post regarding "secret gardens" or marginalized/minimalized subjects that are important to the photographs emotional content/meaning.. whateve
look at your first and second links, again
this is what you're truly asking about
the clyfford still cut off/edge stuff is just an extension of that scaling of human condition or however you'd say it properly
clyfford still
abstract expressionism
abstract composition
asymmetrical balance
that is what you are asking for
asymmetrical balance
it doesn't matter what the subject is or how far it's been pushed to the edge
it's all the same
Kirk was only just as confused
More, I want to see more images! There must be some essays on asymmetry in composition - mostly about paintings, I'd guess… Anybody able to name one worth to read?
