Composition - Divine proportions

Divine Proportions 

Divine proportions are something within a image which allows you to split it up into different shapes to understand the image in more detail. 

The concept behind the image is something so subtle that being a lions face, the divine proportion layout in this image makes you focus on the 'focal points' (the 4 circles making a rectangle). These focal points allow you to see where they want the eye to be focused on, in and around the eyes. The way this is laid out is the same any painting is, most rely on these focal points to enable them to create the photo or painting. The idea behind the focal points is to capture the most enhanced part of the image whilst also sustaining a equalized level of information. Some people do break this and turn the rectangle into many triangles like shown in the image below. 

This image of a crocodile is something that breaks this imagery, it allows for more focal points to be made. In doing this it creates a move sustained image by having you focus on a lot less information. The information given by this image shows that the focal points have been slanted and re-adjusted to amend for the crocodiles movement. Show in the image below.

Using the focal points and re-adjusting them allows for a more improved quality of picture in my eyes. It makes it more sufficient although it has been moved it has kept its original rule of having the 4 focal points. The focal points can be adjusted and more can be added to certain photos dependent on the size of it so there always can be more than 4 but I've chosen not to go down that route because of it's complexity and it isn't very attractive.
