I'm not analyzing composition of triangles or other "rules of art design" before, click! It's just plain old fashion, see, shoot to motivation,over! Design factor doesn't consciously enter into it at all, as it's what's happening when I see things that motivate me. However, what is interesting, "art design people" look at my photography and do an analysis of it's art explaining the composition of triangles in body forms creating the strength of the picture. Interesting to be able to do that. Me? I just see bodies doing something interesting! ;-) Click.:-) ted
