Egidio goes for rectangles, and once again I’m finding I’m following a compositional rule without knowing it! He challenges us to show how we use rectangles in our photographs and how they help our composition.

This is an image from Cisternerne in Denmark, an underground water reserve.

It is somewhat similar too these beautiful Tori's in Japan.

I don't know if you can say these are rectangular - because they end up in a curve - but, yes, I think they are.

Back home, these are strawberry tents, covering up the plants to make them grow faster.

And there are loads of rectangles in this one, caught at Kyoto Railway Station, Japan.

These three images are from Fredriksborg Castle in Denmark. The left one is a mirror in a dark room, in the middle is the fantastic Chapel and the last one is a narrow alcove in the same castle.

Lastly, a Japan gallery - and some favourites from a night in a wisteria garden.

So, we would love to see your photos with two rectangles. Let your creativity flow. And please remember that pingbacks do not work on Egidio's site. You need to put your link in the comments. The “lens-artists” hashtag makes it easier for others to find your post too.

Last week, Ritva focused on backgrounds and how they affect our composition. What beautiful images you shared! Excellent and creative. Next week, Tina will share another fascinating challenge on Saturday, 12 noon (EDT in the USA). Stay tuned. Please see this page to learn more about the Lens-Artists Challenge and its history.

As those who follow her know, Lens-Artists team member Donna of Wind Kisses is taking a break from blogging for personal reasons. She will be very much missed but, hopefully be with us again before too long. We wish Donna and her family only the best, as our thoughts are with all of them.
