CameraMan Cream of the Crop  More info | Jan 19, 2017 12:58 | #1 This one I like the placement of the shoreline. But the duck is in an awkward position. Almost centered.   IMG_0097 by CameraMan, on FlickrIn this one, the duck is positioned better but now the shoreline is in the middle of the picture.  IMG_0098 by CameraMan, on FlickrI like them both but they both have composition flaws... Probably because of the fact that I rarely go out shooting anymore so it's made me fall backwards in my composition skills. Any feedback would be appreciated. Photographer

Jan 19, 2017 13:17 | #3 Yeah, I forgot to mention I know about the crooked shoreline too. I wasnt going to fix that until I decided which one I was going to keep. Photographer

When shooting reflection images, the horizon/shoreline is often in the middle of the image. That doesn't make it a flawed composition.

bob_r Goldmember More info Post edited over 6 years ago by bob_r. (2 edits in all) | Jan 19, 2017 14:25 | #8 Just my opinion, but I think the image would look more balanced if the duck were moved to the left side of the image and the trees on the right were cropped so only one tree is visible (similar to the first image, but eliminate the trunk of the second tree).

Jan 19, 2017 15:18 | #9 Honestly, the duck is to prominent in the photo for me...looks like it's cut/paste in as it's sticking out on a foggy day. I'd remove it all together if it were mine. Sony a6300/ 16-70/4 / 70-200/4 G / Sony HVL-60M

Jan 19, 2017 15:27 | #10 Didn't think about moving the duck. Problem with that is I think there are ripples around the duck. So the ripples might have to move with the duck. I am on my phone but I'll look at it closer when I get home. Photographer

Jethr0 Goldmember More info | I like your edit. I wasn't too sure about moving the duck, but something looked off about him (like he was glowing). www.jefflowe.ca

I wasn't too sure about moving the duck, but something looked off about him (like he was glowing). I left in more trees on the right to make it seem more foresty. I think the duck stands out because it is closer to the camera so the fog has less effect on it. When you look at the difference between the tree on the right and the ones on the far shore, it appears to be a rather heavy fog so objects closer to the camera should stand out more. I would not remove the duck as suggested by another poster, since at least to me, that is the subject.

Jan 19, 2017 16:59 | #14 OK, so this is kind of what I was hoping for. 
And what the heck... I thought I'd have a little fun with it...  Image hosted by forum (835733) © CameraMan [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.  Photographer

Nathan Can you repeat the question, please?  More info | Jan 20, 2017 08:54 | #15 DagoImaging wrote in post #18249457 Easy enough to use content aware move and put the duck wherever you want it. What the heck? There's content aware move, now? I'm so far behind. Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.
