Watched a Youtube tutorial by photouniverse entitled Element Theory of Landscape Photography.

This discussed an approach to creating interesting images by breaking the image down into elements of interest. The theory follows the idea that the more elements of interest contained in an image, the more attractive / interesting the image will be.

It is a different way of thinking about image construction which I hadn't heard before and  it does seem to hold a good deal of validity - I can see what the narrator is driving at and it is certainly something I shall be thinking about while out and about looking for shots.
