I think the grid is like a gentle hand that guides the eye, and that little frame can make a photo feel alive or, if too tight, a bit suffocating. When the composition lines up with the grid, the subject feels grounded, the mood steadier, and the light can play with the edges. But if you let the grid pull the subject too close or cut off a soft curve, the whole scene can feel rushed. I love when the grid lets the subject breathe—then the mood is quiet, dreamy, and just a little more alive.
