shop], if not I apologise cause it is very well thought out... I can not make some of the comments others have cause I am primaryly an outdoor photogand started a long time ago... also hung up with being a profectionist from the eyeball to the print.... still- -- - a good shot joe The composition is unusual but it can work in the appropriate context. The image seems to be made of -at least- 4 elements: foreground, gentleman, background left, background right. It's well done despite the facts that all the elements have a different lighting but there are a few problems: the lit parts on the shoulder have the wrong color, there is a problem with the folds in the back of the suit (at waist level), both sides of the background do not match (left and rigt of the gentleman). Also, the vignetting is a bit harsh. i am no professional and i am just starting out with serious digital photography. so i'd go by the book -- which in my case is nothing but the compositions tips and techniques i regularly read on this great website. 1. i like the use of the rule of thirds -- the way the main subject has been lined up along the right side vertical line of the frame. 2. nice use of patterns formed by the vegetation and the way the subject breaks the pattern. 3. i'm not very impressed with the way the horizon cleanly bisects the frame
