Colour, Composition or Content

Is it the colour, the content or the composition that most makes a picture? I have heard arguments - but I don't know the answer. But I do know I have uploaded a lot of pictures that I like in the last hour or two.


I like the colour of the reflection in the windows - this is the Royal Liver building in Liverpool, with the reflection of the sunset on the Mersey in the windows.


Pure content - but a picture that says so much about the development in Liverpool, and gives us some pointers as to why it may be happening there but not in Melksham.


For the composition. The view from the restaurant at the Premier Inn at Liverpool's Albert Dock.

In reality , it's all three that help make up a picture. Have a look at some of my others just uploaded here ... and other recent (or recently labelled) pictures here and here
