[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 196153, member: 12257"] I feel tremendous loss over the missing "little red boat", LOL FANTASTIC picture here! This one just grabs me... I still get a taste of the reflection and the lake, but I'm now drawn to the mountain and the cloudscape, and I can spend hours picking out the details therein. Before, with the full uncropped scene, the battle between "WOW, that sky!" vs. "WOW, that reflection!" was a bit overwhelming. To me, forcing me to ogle over one or the other leaves me with a mind less overwhelmed. PLUS, I get a sense of the scale with the dock on the outer edge (although I still prefer the boat!!), so it's a win! ...and I agree with your thoughts on "the rules" for the most part. I center a lot of things just because they please my eye in the here and now. Using this current crop as an example, it's only "partially correct" per the rules, but it's enough to create a masterpiece. The horizon is adjusted closer to the rule of thirds, making it not so bad that the main mountain is centered. Now I'm not battling two "centers" but rather just the "center of focus". Does that make sense at all? I struggle because I don't know the "rules" of informative critique, perhaps? LOL One of these days, I hope I have the skills to say "Which AMAZING photo do you like best?" like you've got the chance to do! [/QUOTE]
