some would say this composition is a bit flat and horizontal. When considering what you're capturing, look through the lens and pick out the dominant subjects, like people, buildings, trees or mountains and arrange them so that they compliment each other. This can mean either symmetrical balancing, where objects of equal size are positioned on either side of the picture's center, like a manicured garden with bushes on either side, or asymmetrical balancing, where objects of different sizes are used on either side of the picture's center, like a scene of a person standing between a house and a tree. Asymmetrical pictures are often more interesting and visually stimulating as the viewer's eye moves from object to object.

Another piece of good advice is to take MORE pictures. Change your angle, your zoom, your direction, and your lighting. With your digital camera, now you can just delete the ones that you don’t like, but you are much more likely to get that one “perfect” shot.
