Example of my belief in good composition: The picture top right of prize winning painting copied from the prize winning photograph of H.A. Figueras half-face, left.

H.A. Figueras is a retired photo journalist and once called the Roving Cameraman in his younger days. He was literally "born in the dark room" of his father's Vigan studio. Some of his "serious" pictures were published in Manila-based magazines.

" Good composition is the life of a picture."
