door – in italy

Cities, Traveling Italy

The composition of an image can significantly alter the mood it conveys. The door to a Mecca building from Italy I chose demonstrates it , choosing between a landscape and portrait orientation can evoke different emotions. With a landscape orientation, the focus may broaden, capturing more of the surrounding environment, while a portrait orientation can emphasize the details and grandeur of the building itself. This shift in perspective can subtly influence the emotional impact of the image.

It’s intriguing how such a simple adjustment can evoke varied emotional responses, highlighting the powerful role of composition in visual storytelling.

  2. Your thoughts are well illustrated here Ritva. I think the vertical shows the building better, and we still get the essence of the street. But then, I like buildings.

  4. I like the vertical one better but the horizontal one gives a different emphasis, making us look at that section of the street rather than being distracted, albeit beautifully, by what’s above.
