I know without a doubt that you're a newfag to whom "composition" means things like "rule of thirds" and "golden ratio" and less so things like "frame harmony" or "complimentary to the subject"
There's no truer meme about /p/ than the newfags being the most vocal, because they know the least, and are most rabid about the little bit they know being the whole truth.
When you haven't mastered achieving critical focus on your 50mm 1.8, you're much more likely to mistake artistic license with technical incompetence; this is an abstraction and projection of your own realization of personal incompetence and little else.
Could you tell me a little bit more about Todd Hido's fantastic-beyond-isi's-comprehension compositions?
