Every picture we take is composed. We do it autonomically. As well, because if we had to stop and think about composition each time, most subjects would "get away" long before we take them. In the same way, where there's a potential picture, it's our unconscious minds which alert us to it. Like musical and other skills, this "eye for a picture" is partly innate and partly developed. With some camera enthusiasts I've known, however, it's been neither, even after years of picture-taking. But even when autonomic, for perfect composition, I agree that a minimum amount of time and spacial freedom is needed.
