I am back on this thread to share a very useful compositional plugin that I used long ago. It is called
Golden Crop Plugin. While I hate fixed set of rules I do wonder at how nature created our minds and how choosy it indeed is. Further, nature appeared to have
created many things in some way. Why is it so? Only Nature/God knows. I can rebel against these so called 'rules' and choose to place my subject where I marked blue square in the attached image. In fact
"I" would love to do that but only if my heart too agrees with my ego! Most often I find my heart agreeing with some of the intersection of these golden lines/golden spirals etc (the dots I marked in red). Probably some of our preferences have been decided by the nature itself. May be your mind prefers some other points of intersections in the attached image. I hope this helps. I hope you don't mind me taking liberty to overlay this frame on your image. I used the Golden Crop Plugin to overlay this. The plugin is free for non-commercial uses (GNU licence). You may use it if you find it useful. The green dots are "rule of thirds", the pink dots fall on
golden ratios. My "Ego" placement is marked in blue (which my heart don't agree with often!)
