[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 94519, member: 11881"] Pictures 16, 88, & 96 - Why? What I mean is why am I looking at it? It's not telling me anything and it's not conveying any kind of a feeling or emotion which is why I ask "why?" When framing your shot try not to shoot it like everyone would. Example, everyone stands upright with the camera to their eye and takes a picture. Find that different angle that makes your shot unique. A friend of mine, who is a professional photographer, showed me a spectacular picture he took of the Moab Arch (Google it, everyone has the same shot). He looked at the arch, saw tons of photo monkeys (amateurs and pros) sitting on the rocks taking the same picture. To not have the same shot as everyone else he hiked around a bit of a canyon for a different angle and it really made the shot because it was a different way of seeing the same arch that had been pictured literally millions of times.
