Doug,

Here's a photo I took at Daytona in 1998 - it appeared on the cover of HummerNews.

The flags are all pointing at the guy's face, and his head is cocked a little so that his sunglasses follow the line of the flags. The camper, railing, and truck on the right are all pointing at "Harley-Davidson" on the guy's shirt. His left hand is curled - pointing at Harley-Davidson on the gas tank.

I did roll the bike out where I wanted it, and posed the guy where I wanted him. I did NOT consciously line all these elements up. But I wonder whether my eyes and my un-conscious brain told me where to put everything. Or maybe it was just dumb luck. Probably the latter.

Dave, your discussion is using the same words as my instructors was trying to teach us, (horizontality & verticality [X & Y Axis]) and using similar concepts of composition as they were trying to impart (Depth of concept Z axis), and using the speculation of the photographers state of mind you've reached beyond a standard 3 dimensional view of the world an entered the "TWILIGHT ZONE" (where's that music coming from).
