So far in my landscape photography series

So far in my landscape photography series, I've talked about compositional elements, their weights and how to use their properties to balance the composition by imagining a balance of torques around the middle axis of an image. I also discussed balancing of negative space, the perception of subject direction and the often-overlooked importance I reserve to the separation of elements. I then discussed the perception of depth and how to use sky in a landscape image. To start this article, I'd like to go back to the elements of composition, and talk more about tying compositional components together, in hope that it ties all the points I made in my seven prior stories together.
