I agree with Paul. To me compostition is about how to take the eyes of the spectatores for a I ride around/into the picture. So, often, it's about lines. It's also about light. The bright parts seem to catch the eyes first. Bright parts of a photograph need to be important(essential - or at least to lead the eyes to where the messages is. This is one of the reasons, that a portrait with a very bright background (passport photographs) are rarely very pleasing. The eyes want to wander away from the face and the essential part of the image. This can be mended in a way, by creating dark corners (oposite vignetting) - to create a bright, central part of the image.

You have a very good sense of composition and frame. I find almost all of these quite excellent. The only exception would be the windmill, which appears somewhat awkward and disjointed to my eye. But the others are very good. The staircase is a great composition, so too the graffiti. The frosted tree is a very pretty shot. Nice work and welcome to the list. Paul Stenquist

Thanks for the comments. I found another couple of photos of that windmill I'd taken at the time. I'm not sure either solve any of the problems, but...

which seems to be leaning over slightly, and then from a bit further back

which might benefit from being cropped a little on the left and perhaps right.
