The still-life composition is a favorite subject with me, and I often set up a group of various containers, bottles and bowls, and usually some flowers get included too. I shot 14 different views of this, and could not decide on a favorite. Can you?

The assignment for this fortnight in Studio 26 is triangles in composition. Part of that is analysis of photos we've already taken, or take for the assignment.
The original post for each of these assessments is linked in the comments, with all photos also in the set.
One of the keys to shooting Epic Landscape Photography is exalting the photograph's soul via golden ratio compositions, thusly wedding the photographic art to the divine proportion by which life itself was designed and exalted. The simple golden ratio PHI can exalt your art with the golden ratio harmonies in the form of golden rectangles, golden triangles, golden spirals, golden cuts, and more, all linked by the divine proportion!

Greetings flickr friends! I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean .

The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo!
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.
Ansel Adams is not only my favorite photographer, but he is one of the greatest photographers and artists of all time. And just like great artists including Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Picasso, Ansel used the golden ratio and divine proportions in his epic art.
Not so long ago I discovered golden regions in many of his famous public domain his 8x10 aspect ratio photographs. I call these golden harmony regions "regions of golden action" or "ROGA"S, as seen here:

And too, I created some videos highlighting Ansel's use of the golden harmonies. Enjoy!

Compositional Study for 'The Hour Glass'
Evelyn De Morgan
Here Jane Morris poses for De Morgan's oil painting, The Hour Glass, conceived as a pictorial 'echo' of Beethoven's 'Waldstein' Sonata, which ends on 'a sudden voice of triumph'. It is a meditation on mortality which in De Morgan's spiritualist philiosophy was the gateway to a finer life.
Aged sixty-five, Jane Morris was an apt model for the figure. She shared her love of music with the De Morgans, who were 'dear old friends'. The tapestry sketched in the background evokes those at Kelmscott Manor, although is not copied from them.

I've been trying to pay particular attention to composition lately because some shots have felt "off". Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
For this one, does the table take too much foreground? I took another angle that shows the open space to the living room, but does this work on its own as far as comp is concerned?
For the photo itself, I did blow out that light a little too much and I have a flash reflection in the photo.
Lighting: Single exposure.

- 1 on floor bounced into wall behind me for fill on table
- 1 in living bounced off ceiling.
