Composition is harder for me than all the technical stuff. I am an engineer by training and by nature, so right brained stuff is easier. The artistic side of photography is more of a challenge. The thing about photography that not all mediums of art have is the ability to appeal to both kinds of people, artistic and technical. I was drawn in by the technical but found that I really enjoy learning about the art as much as the science.

Composition is key. When I am able to get a really great photo I ask myself, “what about this photo is great, why am I drawn to it?”. If you can answer that, you can repeat it in the future. If you cannot, than you are a point and shooter that got lucky.

Some good bits:
* No tangents. The circle doesn’t touch the square.
* Color: The item of main focus — the crick circle — has a unique color in the pic.
* Contrast: Similar to the previous one, but emphasized for being pretty much the only color bit in an otherwise black and white picture.
* Angle: Shot straight on, the brick circle might look plain. By taking a slight angle (looking slightly up and to the right ) you add variety and interest.
* Repetition: The bricks repeat themselves, as nature often repeats itself.

That’s a good start. =) Nice pic!
