[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 372448, member: 9240"] Going back to the OP and the linked article, [B][I]something[/I][/B] has to anchor the perspective vertically and/or horizontally. It doesn't always have to be the horizon (in Scott's case it's the Ostriches). In the prize winner, nothing does, and obviously nothing [I]had to[/I] for the photo to be appreciated. I can only assume that the photographer had showing it the way he did, and the very nature of how the wild looks when you're out there may have been that reason - or perhaps to give the feel that you're not looking straight out but catching a glimpse off to the right. My point was never to say it was better (the :) was to show my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek), but yes, it did bother me - but I get why he did it. My original point [I]is[/I] that [I]most[/I] crooked lines left in a shot are not intentional and can be perceived as sloppy or incomplete work in post. Intentional or otherwise, they [I]do[/I] lead [I]some[/I] to be more dismissive of an image. [/QUOTE]
