Composition by Claire. Theme: "Nature is beautiful"

Our critique: Wow! This composition is rather busy. The viewer isn't sure where to focus because of the proliferation of subjects.

Composition by David. Theme: "Nature is wild and untamed"

Our critique: Your portrait of the cat is interesting because the subject isn't looking at the viewer and it is in the background.

Composition by David. Theme: "Nature is a struggle for survival"

Our critique: You've employed a common convention in wildlife art; featuring the subject in the center foreground.

Composition by charles Friend. Theme: "what is happening"

Our critique: Because you've placed the fox off-center in your composition, it is more interesting than most portraits.

Now be sure you create a composition of your own to submit to the Critique Gallery!
