At the time, the 2 trees attracted me. I knew I wanted to frame them with other trees on the left and right. I did see the bright light in the background, so that factor in the exposure and dark tree on right and left. The other 2 smaller tree to the right of the centered trees are (using your terms) "unconsciously" aware. I knew I wanted a square format, there are more tree in the further left and right, but I didn't care knowing I will crop them in post-process anyway. When I used to shoot D-Lux 4, I can set the square on the camera, but Fuji X100 does not have that feature. There were hundreds of trees there, very chaotic. It was a challenge to find a satisfying composition. I only heard of Ansel Adams' Zone System for exposure, never heard of Zone System for seeing. I will have to look this up, keep me busy and out of trouble :) Thank you for sharing your thought, I appreciate it. -Quan.
