[QUOTE="Odin_aa, post: 194645, member: 11814"] I dont mind suggestions Playmode and dont take this the wrong way either, however to say that it is a fundamental rule of photography is quite a strong statement it is one that is considered to be a great tool for composing images though. You may want to read up on the rule of thirds or at least examine my photograph a bit better. There is a link here that explains the rule: [URL=http://www.silverlight.co.uk/tutorials/compose_expose/thirds.html]Rule of thirds[/URL] and I have inserted lines for the thirds and circled the subject to help you out. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/kurtschneid/Just%20pics%20for%20webuse/_JPG9984thirds.jpg[/IMG] Photographs that I show on the web are normally not a representation of the actual prints simply due to the size requirements at sites like this, the image presented here when printed out has a bit more to the bottom of the shot showing a few more inches of the trunk and is printed at 13x19. When I do crop for the web, I try to keep the original idea but for wildlife it seems best to make the actual subject of the image as large as possible without damaging the concept of the image I started with. This crop does follow the rule of thirds although it could have been cropped to follow that even more by removing more from above the bird, in doing that the image appears too cramped together for my taste and in the end photography is simply personal taste.
