[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 390207, member: 9240"] I'm just saying that the composition as is is just OK and that moving around might have yielded something better. One of the most important things to learn as a photographer is that the most important piece of equipment that you have is your legs, because they can bend down and move you in any direction you want. So, when you see something you want to shoot and it looks good where you are, think about whether or not it would look better with the camera somewhere else and use your legs to get you there. That said, I'm definitely thinking some variation of your interpretation. If you do an image search of "pier at night" you will get a plethora of variations on something like this... [ATTACH=CONFIG]128524._xfImport[/ATTACH] Why? Because it works. That doesn't mean you [I]have[/I] to shoot it this way, and you probably [I]should[/I] look for something different if it's available. But the way that the lines lead in and sit within the frame follow a set of standards that are ultimately pleasing to the eye. [/QUOTE]
