| About |
This was taken at Kinderdijk in the Netherlands. I had just got my Nikon and was playing around with under/ over exposing when I took this and I think I played around a bit too much!
I haven't yet been back to have another go.

I think you have a good eye Justine, but just a couple things stand out to me. One, it seems like you are automatically centering things, which is a natural human logical response to framing up objects. However, when viewing images the rule of thirds (aka: the Golden Ratio) is best applied. Imagine if you take a picture, and divided it into three segments going both up and down. Where these lines intersect are the strongest visual points (or should be). With that said, rules are meant to be broken and you could have a perfectly centered composition that looks great. I have drawn up a very quick, approximate grid on your image to clearly show the thirds rule, and actually you're not too far off. Also, this does look a little dark, but that can be fixed by using a slower shutter speed, however 1/60th is about the slowest you can go w/o using a tripod. Or, you can use a lower F-stop, which will let the lens open wider, letting in more light. The tradeoff is that you then lose depth of field (amount of image in focus), which in this image would be a definate loss. Sorry to go on & on, but hopefully this will be useful info for you,
Chris

I wasn't sure if you would see this reply in my pic, so I will repost it on yours:
Thanks for the comments Justine, but always remember there is no 'right' or 'wrong' in photography/visual arts, only what works for you and the person viewing your image. Over a long period of time people have determined what works for them, and others at large, and this has become to be known as 'right' or 'good' but really it is just applying technique and personal touches to taking images of the things that surround us. Keep shooting, keep learning.
Regards,
Chris

The main subject of the photograph is dead central.. more interesting is to leave more space left or right .. and your picture is rather dull in colours.
