A Glorious day by sandradavies

A Glorious day

Aiming for better composition. Working on it.
Sandra, what a glorious view and sunny day you have captured here. It is lovely to see people allowed out and enjoying it.

I hope you don't mind, but as you have said you are aiming for a better composition I thought I would share my thoughts with you. Please take from them in the manner in which they are shared, which is an offer of support and friendship and do with them what you will. Everyone has a different view and this is only mine.

Leading lines can be very powerful as they direct your eyes and usually draw them through a photo. When I look at this photo my eyes are Immediately drawn to the leading lines of the railing and the path below it . Both lead me out of the photo and away from the beautiful beach setting you have captured.

I am thinking that if you where to take the photo from a slightly different place and angle, you could use the curve of the sand to draw your eyes through the photo and back to the rock formations in the water. Or if you photographed just above the view of the railing and path you would create a stronger composition as these objects would not be drawing the viewers eyes away from your main subject.

I hope this helps in some way. Please feel free to tell me to keep my thoughts to myself :) if you wish as I will not be offended.

Keren @kgolab Thank you so much for this. I am open and understand what you suggest and agree I took you out of the frame. What I understand from what you offer is first see the leading line and then follow it. I guess this is 101 photo...

I asked for thoughts and am grateful they came with grateful thanks.
