No problem Marc, Hope it helps. So back to the subject I am slowly getting the idea that there might just be a composition rule to explain every picture composition LOL. Nice approach Alpha, I must agree, when something of interest catches my eye I explore with my lenses and the camera angle before I take my pictures, but I will always take a number of shots never just the one. I like your comment about capturing the atmosphere of a shot, This I find a lot harder and very often am disappointed that I cannot capture the sounds and the smell of a subject I like your pond picture you have really got the stillness of the water, The more I look into it, The more I get spooked by the remoteness of the place. :O)
