The guidelines for this assignment (http://community.spiritofphotography.com/index.php?topic=783.0) were to compose an image with a pleasing balance of the visual weight (prominence) of the primary shapes and forms across the frame. Recommendations were to pay attention to position, size, contrast, and color and use other compositional techniques (leading lines, etc.) to ensure the primary subject still remains the focus of the image.
