But if you are designing a wedding dress and you treat it as a waterfall, then you are bringing the energy and emotional content of one thing into another thing... we&apos;re saying the one thing has a certain feeling and I am going to arrange my elements by comparing the two. This is the blood of creative composition.&quot;<br><br>Made my jaw drop

  How have I not noticed how good the composition of Marshall&apos;s webcam setup is? <br><br>Lines leading the eye to his face. Positioned nicely to left of center. The window making good dark/light contrast.<br><br>Stan needs to step up his webcam game.

  So incredibly happy to see this pop up in my notifications. Been stuck in my room for days since I was in a bad bike accident, these videos are therapeutic 🙂
