    Well in fairness there are a lot of contradictory rules. You have to pick your spots! mwink.gifdunno

    I see leading lines and rule of thirds at first glance. What rules were you trying to break?

    Well YMMV but there is framing square (although I personally have no problem with it I have seen many "rather vigorous" debates on the topic), I have about three focal points of interest, one on the bottom of the frame, I've also blown out the background highlights out pretty badly. Oh and IMO it's rather "off balance".

    But don't get me wrong though, I'm actually pretty happy with it and thinking of investing some time and effort (and $) to a decent framed print. I AM fairly new to this craft but I personally find all the so called rules that many people insist on following can be impediments to a "possibly" pleasing image. I guess this may come from my 35 year background in drafting. We often just have to "make it fit" as best we can and occasionally stumble on some decent production surprises we otherwise would not have.

    shrug..

    I see your point. At first glance (I'm on my phone) I didn't realize it wasn't level. But that's an easy fix that won't crop much if you decide to do it. Since this isn't hdr, you had to blow out the highlights, and the area of interest is perfectly visible. Overall, I think you're right. It's worth doing a nice print to display!
