Not Central

[Black Pearl]

Ok - I can take a shot without a central comp.

 

 

....and if I'm honest I think I prefer this one to the first shot I posted - though I have had a bit of a play with it.

I like the composition better, but that's just my opinion. your other shot was much more vibrant?

I like the composition better,

better for me too.

That's rather atmospheric, where is that lighthouse?

I always lighthouses and similarly shaped structures quite difficult to photograph, because - and I know how this sounds - they're just straight up and down(!) I have difficulty finding a coherent context for them.

Is it my eyes or is the Light House on a slant to the left....????

If you go with the rule of thirds your spot on, --what ever! I like it,

It the lighthouse at Southerness in Dumfriesshire - now't much there other than a caravan park.

 

I think its leaning because of the looking up angle, I could 'correct' it but not worth the effort for a simple shared shot.

 

As to the rule of thirds - its there as a guide and works for some images but is also there to be bent, broken or simply chucked out of the window :-)
