Steps in Taormina

I was looking back through some honeymoon photos and I found this one and cleaned it up a little. What do you think?



ISO: 200
Exposure: 1/800 sec
Aperture: 3.5
Focal Length: 18mm

Looks pretty cool to me, jdeg. Nice texture, contrast, composition. Nice shot.

jdeg, good exposure and good color. But the shot is too busy. To many red flower pots with flowers competing for attention. I would have picked one of the pots on the right side put it at the lower right thirds intersection, moved in closer and at a lower level shooting up toward the building. I would shoot it with a shallow depth of field to make that one pot in focus and the subject with the other pots and background out of focus. This simplifies the composition and makes it more attractive for the eye to look at. Simplicity of composition almost always makes for a better shot.

Thanks Jack.

Joe, that makes a lot of sense. There is a lot going on. There's even a cat! lol
