One in a thousand photographers is born with the eye.  They have a natural ability to see images.  For the rest of us we have to acquire this capability.  This can be done a number of ways; taking photo classes, self education thorough reading about photography and composition or getting feedback and seeing other photographers work.  The purpose of this blog is to give honest feed back and let you see other people’s compositions with an eye to what works and what does not.  We all have a lot to learn by seeing the images of other photographers and deciding what to take away from the experience.

This scene of a young lady feeding the geese has a lot of potential.  There is a nice inner action between the girl and the birds.  I like the placement of the main subject off center with the birds entering the frame from the right. 

I would like to make some suggestions.  On the left edge of the frame there is a person’s hand entering the frame from nowhere.  This can easily be cropped out.  In the background we see a portion of a building which takes away from the natural environment of the scene.  This would be difficult to crop and still keep the same composition but vegetation can be cloned in over this distraction.

There are two other things that can be improved on the computer.  The image appears to be a little overexposed and shifted to the light side of the spectrum.  The last issue is a little more difficult to change.  There are too many overlapping people in the frame which makes for a confusing composition.  These can be reduced using our old friend Mr. Cloning but it will take some time to get it just right.
