I am only ever interested in shooting landscapes on 120. I don't know why, something about square format.

I'm into this one, you should look up Brad Moore.

I don't want to point any fingers with this post but "good composition" is not the same as "following the rule of thirds" or "plotting your photo onto a spiral" or whatever. Composition is much more about each object in the scene and how they relate to each other, NOT JUST SPATIALLY, but also with regards to the inherent meaning and function of those objects and how they interact, including individual intent, in or outside of the scene.

Yes thank you, I am tired of the kneejerk "this would be better if it were following the rule of thirds" responses so many images get here. The rule of thirds is not the end-all be-all of composition, it's only purpose is to get noobs to not loving automatically center things and beyond that doesn't have any real value.

Composition is about balancing visual weight (or making it unbalanced if that is what works for what you're trying to do). There are no rules that can help you compose better, you have to actually think about how things relate two dimensionally and how those relationships add or detract from what you are trying to show.

I'm doing some pretty heavy experimenting on processing with these landscapes. I have an idea of some places I want to shoot and process this way.

I think what is interesting to me about these is how they lose the sense of scale and perspective with the dark skies. I would pursue it more along those lines when you're shooting, rather than as an after-the-fact processing thing.
