MFI, you noted that tension may create impact, and that's very true (your strong photo certainly has impact that suits it well). But depending on the subject and the mood the photographer is trying to capture and emphasize, sometimes tension is unsuitable, and instead of thinking impact in these cases a more subtle look may be more suitable. Possible examples: photos of babies (human and animal), other portraits, misty or foggy landscapes and seascapes, certain florals and other subjects where the main appeal is a smooth gradation of pastel colors, and lots more. In these kinds of cases the photographer may choose to create interest without tension or in-your-face impact.
One thing I find endlessly fascinating about photography is that there are many approaches for getting the sort of image you are seeking. The challenge for me is to use the right approach for the mood of the image I envision.
Hi Rich, and thank you. Those are pretty severe conditions, but you seem quite able to deal with it. I'm not.
