Meaty0 Goldmember  3,519 posts Joined Jan 2006 Location: Brisbane, Australia More info | Mar 14, 2006 20:14 | #1 I took this at a street markets recently and I'm having trouble with composition. With rule of thirds, the dog seems to be in the wrong position, but moving him over brings in the edge of the mat. Is cropping an option or is it better to just leave it? Any C&C welcome, be at brutal as you like.

The excessive carpet is so bright, it's a bit distracting. Radtech1 wrote: I also rotated it about 10 counterclockwise because the dog looked off balance. Hmm. I like that too. I never noticed it before. Radtech1 wrote: It is a shame that you cut off the dogs hindquarters. Also, I wish the leash was not there. Well, I did get the "full dog" in the original, but just behind him, the rug ended and there was an ugly umbrella pole Radtech1 wrote: Don't know if it is better, but at least is it a fresh viewpoint. Rad Definitely better and I appreciate the help. Thanks.
