[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 134953, member: 13090"] IMO, crycocyon pretty much nailed what the photo needs... The trees are competing with the building for attention while the subject is small (far off) and too centered. Adding to that there is too much dark foreground weighing down the frame. Good composition would give equal thirds to foreground and background in this frame. Cropping helps bring the attention to the subject... In this shot it only helps "so much" but IMO it needs a hard cropping to better frame and isolate the subject. Now how, and [I]how much[/I], exactly, it needs to be cropped I'll agree is open to debate. :) Having re-read your post I do see your point, but if the shot is a landscape then the building in competition with the land and if the subject is the building then the landscape is in competition with that. This shot needs to be about one or the other because it can't be about both. Just my take... [/QUOTE]
