Posted by General Zod The first has two problems. It's fuzzy/ out of focus and the composition is very busy. For me, the vertical wall on the left adds one more element on top of an already erratic jumble of contrasts and shapes, so it should probably be left out. Sometimes, including the wall or the door frame works, but here, I just don't think it would add anything unless this can be re-composed. You can try to play around with angles in the composition by using the table edge in the foreground to create leading lines pointing in a certain direction toward the middle or background objects, or you can use it frame things. You could also settle on one object in the room and just make that the centerpiece of the whole arrangement. The second shot is superior. I would not change much about it. I like the fact that it looks like a crime scene photograph (flash). The grisly green and red contrasts only compliment that. In fact, the crap on the floor is so rotten looking I thought it was a body. lol |

Posted by JasonJacksonPhoto Word thanks for the advise guys. I guess it's pretty obvious that I don't know much about composition so I guess I should do some research on that haha. |
