Photot 1 - I didn't take to much time considering the composition of this. If I had I would have moved so the pole at the right side wasn't in the frame.
Photo 2 - as this is a tall statue I turned the camera to take the photo as a 'portrait' format. I also moved in closer but now I look at it I think I could have got even closer to fill the frame with the statue more.
Photo 3 - I got even closer to fill the frame with just the head of the statue. I think this is my favourite.
Photo 4 - I moved as far back as I could without stepping into a busy road junction to stress the surrounding the statue is in.
You can probably guess that this one was taken on another day (Everton fans leave floral tributes from funerals of a loved one and they're missing from this photo). I forgot the 4th photo when I was taking the others.
I went back to re-do Photo 4 in light of Jill's comment. The funny thing is I hadn't noticed the the blue plaque was covered by the statues elbow :(
I agree with you about no.3. I am not sure about no.4.- but it is a jolly tricky spot by the look of it and I can't make much of a suggestion, but one of those blue plaques is tucked under his elbow. Do you take lots of shots? Sometimes just moving a little left or right makes all the difference. Looking through the viewfinder you often don't notice things like the plaques position. Hope you don't mind me making suggestions.
ReplyDeleteThat makes all the difference! I think it is great to have someone else commenting on my pictures, I am always pleased to have suggestions. I find that I have such a strong idea of what I think I have done that I cannot see an obvious improvement.
