Jay Maisel Workshop #6

-->

Jay did like this photo.  I liked it, but have some reservations about it.

Jay:  Did you ask this guy to pose for you?

Me:   No.  I saw this neat background and then waited for people to walk in front of it.  I liked this guy because he looked at me and because his shirt was a solid, bright color that seemed to go with the background.

Jay:  Although his look is not really an inviting look, it still draws the viewer into the scene.

Me:  I am not real happy with how I have him placed in the center of the frame.

Jay:  You talking about the rule of thirds?

Me:  Yes.

Jay:  @#%#*&! the rules!  Does the photo have impact?  Yes.  Does it draw you into it?  Yes.  So, @#%#*&! the rules!

My thought:  Not sure about that!

Enjoy.
