Well, what is the intent of the picture? Is the dragon the woman's pet? Or not and she's surprised/fearful/interested/enamored to see it? Not only should a picture convey mood and aesthetics, but it should also convey information worth consideration by the viewer. This can be to show an event (real or not), to voice a message, to evoke an emotional response, and so on. Also, the woman and dragon being the focus of the picture, they should be placed more central. The eye wanders to the bottom left corner and off the picture or around the trees, to the dragon, woman and off the top left corner. Cover the upper right diagonal and you have your central figures. Cover the lower left diagonal region and you have just a nice landscape. In this case a camera shift to the left and down, aiming it up will center giving an ominous feeling. Moving the camera up and to the right, aiming it down toward the central figures will give a more controlling feeling. Moving the camera around the central figures, keeping in mind the mood and event/action/message you wish to convey. BYS
