ABSTRACT
With the exception of movies and holograms, images are static and two dimensional. In a 3D field the ability to see depth and judge distance involves a number of visual cues, two of which involve the physical position of the eyes: convergence and disparity. Composition in photography entails controlling how the viewer's eye progresses through the image. This sense of movement comes from the rhythm of a visual element that repeats itself. Stillness, motion, space, and time all come into play in what some photographers believe is the unique purpose of their craft as compared to other visual arts: to capture a fleeting, quintessential, and holistic instant in the flow of time. In the decisive moment (DM) all the visual elements of the photo come together in resonance with each other to form a perfect composition. The DM photo pinpoints the factual reality of the scene, but through the subjective viewpoint of the photographer.
