Anyway, I need to understand why eventhough some of the parts are missing, it does not take away from the image. I want to know that in order to be able to compose my images should I have a chance to shoot a scene like this one.
FWIW the thing that drew me to this composition was the "curve" formed by the leg, neck and head. I wasn't specifically intending to crop out the other eye and ear.
The finer details of this composition came from luck just as much as skill. I tend to work quickly around things that might move, so I don't have the opportunity to closely scrutinise every last detail like I might with a landscape.
Looking a little more closely I would like to try cropping a little off the left - specifically that little white bit at the bottom left corner.
Dave, I apologize if I am kind of stealing your thread. It is simply that I would like to have this picture analyzed by those who know so that those who study, like me, can learn.
I hope you don't mind.
No problem. I might learn a few things myself - its part of what PAW is about.
Cheers,
- Dave
