Few pics from Seattle weekend away. Looking for some composition advice to make improvements. Were total candids.

The first two are interesting, and I like the compositions. They might have benefited from fill flash, especially #2 with, say, -1 FEC. All three seem leaning a bit to the left. #1 was taken from near ground level, nice, and I'm assuming that the background of this candid is the best available (the structure on the right is not ideal). Thank you.

The first looks a bit too much like the work of a dedicated stalker. The third just looks like a parked car, whilst the second is pretty amazing with a quality that overshadows your other efforts.

Number two has a nice grittyness to it. How much of that was from post production? I agree that #1 looks a bit "stalkeresque" and noisy. As for #3, I like the composition. The sky makes a nice "V" shape that helps draw your eye towards the subject (car). As for the subject, It could stand to be a bit sharper. Nice stuff!


"Just keep shooting!" Gripped 50D, 50mm 1.8 fantastic plastic!, 28-70m 2.8, 70-200mm 2.8 and some other crap!
