Composition Tips

In last week’s video tutorial I talked about how you can learn to better visualize your compositions by cropping the photos you’ve already taken. Today, I thought I’d share a photo I took of the Virgin River in Zion National Park and show you another example of what I mean. The first shot was taken with my 16-35 wide angle and below it I’ve posted a couple different crops illustrating other compositions I could have used from this same perspective. The second one is my favorite – how about you?

    I, just like you, like the second image the most. It is not about the waterfall anymore, it is about water and stones beneath, and about contrast in color. It becomes more abstract. I like the last one, too, still a bit of an abstract. The ” grand views” with greens behind the fall just don’t speak to me.
