I watched the video you posted yesterday. It was really interesting and I’ve actually started to look at the world a bit differently. Thanks for focusing on this concept this month.

When I shoot I take the entire image into account. Yes the focus is on the subject but I also want the "eye candy" in the photo to tell the whole story.
I will shoot in places that has fewer wildlife because the location is full of eye candy and avoid places without. It's the typical way I get the "different" shot.
Good post.

I also like the contrast between the wave foam and the darker curl...

The important thing is that having the main subject dead center is very static. The eye finds the subject and just stays there.

Don't forget the rule of rules; they are made to be broken. For the contest however the idea is apply this one to good effect.

Good to see you posting, I hope you are feeling better!

New meds ya' know. At least they don't interfere with the voices in my head . . .

Sort of. I'm recovering from a lower GI flu thing, lost at least 15lbs in 24 hours, still moving a little slow too. Glad to hear you got through it okay.

As long as the meds don't mess with the voices all's good!
