Rule 9: Avoid Mergers


This picture avoids mergers since the tree branches are not detracting from the subject, the dome of the Basilica. The tree branches are also dark, which allows the dome, which is off-center, to gain more importance in the photo.

This picture shows that the tree branches avoid contact with the Basilica; however, since the dome is in the center, the picture does not allow the eye to move. The subject is static.



This photo breaks the rule of avoiding mergers since the tree branches detract from the subject, which is the dome of the Basilica.
