Composition of Compositions

Black And White Photography, C.S. Young Jr., Photography

My wife’s an interior decorator, she would say this composition is “busy”. Well, it’s definitely busy. But that was my intent when I “saw” this shot. My hope is, for the viewer to experience all the “scenes” or compositions contained within by navigating the lines, shapes and patterns. The composition is looking down on Av. Vaudoyer, near the Promenade Robert-Laffont at the Port of Marseille, France.
