Primes do impose certain composition restrictions, but also help "frame" better IMHO ;)

Would love to know your thoughts on this :)

Cheers,

^ Late evening angular light coupled with spot metering off the leaves.
The leaves and the BG had a difference of more than 2 stops, hence making it appear black (pushed blacks in ACR again a little)
