Originally I was trained as a photographer, an experience that has likely jaded me for life. In photo class we learned that the composition of a photo is what makes it great, not the subject matter.  We learned that having a perfectly centered subject makes for boring photos, and we learned how to arrange our images so that the eye is drawn to different places so that the photograph is interesting to look at.

So, I have been here on Renderosity for a while now, and I have seen some well-composed images.  But they are peppered sparingly in with thousands and thousands of these "perfectly centered nudes".  Now, I realize that a lot of the artists here are young, and the subject matter is what arouses their interest - heck I was young once too.   Carter was president then.

But I implore you - all Poser artists who may read this:  Try a little creativity in the composition of your scenes -  something other than purple hair or blue nipples.   There are many ways to compose images other than to center your subject perfectly in the frame.
