HI, I'd like to complement you on your photography. Perhaps the most difficult concept for most people with cameras to understand is composition, and you do an exceptional job there. I'd like to offer two suggestions, one very simple, the other at bit trickier. SIMPLE: Work on your point of view. Take pictures from an altitude other than where your eye happens to be - lay on the ground, climb on top of your car and aim down, shoot something from behind something else, framing it. TRICKIER: Work on lighting. The least interesting time of day to shoot is between mid-morning and mid-afternoon, because the light is overhead, and there are few shadows and highlights. Try early morning or late afternoon when the sun is at an extreme angle, shadows deepen, colors change and magic can happen. The other thing to avoid working with light, is don't do full on, frontal lighting, but work with side lighting, and for some wonderful effects, utilize back lighting. These are a bit trickier (I warned you) to get proper exposure, but worth it! Good luck! Bob
