Venice view, Italy
I love walking around Venice, there are so many thing to photograph. I was walking into this courtyard, looked up and saw this nice frame so I photographed it. It's another viewpoint of a scene which I like! What do you guys think about it?

still "hanging out" on the patio…. waiting to move back inside the house once the new roof is installed.
First off I do not proclaim to be any kind of authority or expert on neither composition or layers. the following are just my thoughts and opinions of them. In fact I had never even heard of the term "layer"s in regards to composition before joining Flickr. And as far as the image goes, I often shoot this hill and surroundings in a landscape format, but was trying to see it from a different perspective. Definitely not among my favorite captures of this area, but I thought it would work well as an example here.
In the past I have been recommended to look for shapes and lines when composing (Thanks James...super advice) I see layers, especially in a landscape image as rectangles, and usually appearing horizonatally as differing tones, colours or textures. I suppose they could take other shapes as well. They can be quite pleasing to the eye as they transition a scene from foreground to middle ground and perhaps to the background, depending on how many layers exist.
In this shot I think the layers are evident like stacked bands or rectangles. At the top is the Hill, that I love to photograph so much, is basically a triangle topping off the stack and breaking the pattern of the rectangles,
Although this is not a good example of depth or dimension, layers can be used to show depth as well, with each layer perhaps becoming more out of focus. Here everything is pretty much in focus, and possibly because the image is taken in a portrait format there is very little depth, and it almost appears flat, as if taken with a telephoto.
In closing, I do think it is good to look for shapes within a composition, but I have found that it is not easy, requiring practice. Coming from a background in graphic design where one can easily shift and arrange shapes and lines to lead the eye while maintaining balance, it is not as simple in landscape photography where one needs to change position and angle of shooting, and perhaps focal length to change position of elements and relationships of element. As with any skill, learning to see and compose benefits greatly from practice practice and more practice.
Feel free to chip in your opinion on layers within a composition.

Extract from the context volumes, colors and shapes by subjectively creating a new self-sufficient harmony.
We show that when supersymmetry is broken by strong dynamics, a form arises from sizeable mixings of gross bold shapes.
I really liked the door and the old man with the bicycle was just a bonus. I had to move as far back as I could to get in the slippers, it was a really narrow lane.
Candid shot of a Capitol Hill Arts Workshop student in my Washington, D.C. photo class. Single dot focusing was on the rim of the student's lens but special attention was on the background, framing the subject in the doorway and using the photo of the wall to balance the image.

Challenge #227: Triangular Composition
Don't know if this is what you wanted Brenda. You said something about finding implied triangles from nature or other sources. Guess if you've got a good imagination this will work!

Kozy discovered a while ago that he enjoys being a lap kitty, just as long as there is a pillow on my lap. Here he is showing off his sunbath spikes. : )
