Your View contributor Stuart Clyne captured a dramatic action photo taken during a festival in Phuket, Thailand.

Clyne used a wide-angle focal length to take this picture, which meant he had to get close to his subjects. The paper wadding from exploding firecrackers and the hands covering the faces of the parade participants make it feel as if you the viewer are right in the action.

As the famous photojournalist Robert Capa once said, "If your picture isn't good enough, you're not close enough."

Your View contributer Elissa Bogos was on the scene in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, after a devastating suicide bombing on October 8 outside the Indian embassy that killed 17 people and wounded dozens more.

Despite the chaos, she managed to snap this well composed photograph of a uniformed man walking through the strewn wreckage. By framing this man between two sets of exposed girders, the composition creates a frame within a frame that quickly draws the viewer to the main subject at hand.

As many photojournalists can attest, it is their job to convey a message visually. A good composition helps convey that message faster.
