never delete a shot because  of what someone else says..

I think the image you have shown us is a fine photo...

If everyone followed the "rules" think how boring life would be !!!

Follow your heart my friend...let your soul guide your work..Not your mind..

When I have scenes like this to shoot..I try things as many different ways as I can think of..

a vertical frame might have been very effective here..

The rule of thirds is a great "suggestion"

But not every photo was supposed  to be shot like that..

IMHO one of the greatest things about digital is the freedom it allows us as artists..

Who cares if we make mistakes..It's not like we are wasting film and processing...

If the shot feels right...take it
