OK....I thought I was...that's why I tried to get the bike in it. What do you mean? composition?
well for me, the bike didn't do anything but clutter up the flower (purportedly the subject). nothing wrong w/ getting a secondary object in the background, but that particular shot muddled it too much, imo.
composition is the art of framing the image to naturally draw the eye to the subject. competiting elements in the image are detrimental to this. also, the 'rule of thirds' is a good rule of thumb to use; not 100% of the time, but most.

OK...thanks for the tips. I liked the bike in the back...only because it was a bike. I thought it gave it a nice contrasting element between metal and the flower. But I can see why you think it's cluttered as well.
Are you participating in the photography game on Friday?
the 3rd one (tighter framing) is better than the 2nd, but for a nice clear example, look @ the chair on the beach photo...the sandpiper is visible, but solitary and well separated from the primary subject. that's very nicely done; the fact that the water's edge is at the chair also adds a nice element.
not sure if i'll get any time to do the 'change' topic or not. i had a couple of ideas, but i'm still fighting through a photo backlog and have two more shots this week.

we need to make this a stickie!!!! 
if people keep adding to it, it'll effectively become a sticky.
too bad the mic stand was in the way for this one (wooden wand's (aka james toth) arm and guitar)

awesome picture. graphics, that's a great example of outstanding composition. i like the triangle effectively formed by the fries, ketchup cup, and printed text.
I agree that that shot is hot. So do you like ANY of my photos?

OK, I wanna play too...
This was taken at a marketplace near Jerusalem.
The view looking from Gibraltar back into Spain
and the view from the other direction (not as good a photo optically, but more informative - yes, that is the ROCK of Gibraltar)
Barcelona, three photos from the Ramblas fresh market
Fresh meats... like really really fresh
Finding out just how fresh the rabbit is
(I found the marketplace fascinating!)
And here's one more marketplace... Ljubljana, Slovenia, in December

Cool shot highrevs!!! I really like it. You ever try to contact any of the stock photography places? I so can see using a shot like that in the stuff I do for work. 
I would like to. I have thought about the stock photography idea... but I have not devoted the time to chase it, yet.Cool shot highrevs!!! I really like it. You ever try to contact any of the stock photography places? I so can see using a shot like that in the stuff I do for work.
I'll PM you later today with some links and stuff. I looked into Getty...but never tried. And you are FAR superior to me...so!!
Hey highrevs...I forgot to get this to you...

kids playing in the driveway last weekend:
k, slightly off topic, but how much $$ have some of you guys spent on your camera rigs? I was talking with a guy last weekend (A pro photo guy) who dropped 12k on his gear. Admittedly, he is a pro, but I got my old AE1 set up for free...(Not a pro...)
Trying to get my buddy's truck unstuck.
Boone at night.
I've been shooting a lot but the rest are either bike related or drunk related.
