Fundamentals of Composition

To begin improving my Photography, I am taking a Lynda.com course from Ben Long.

Foundations of Photography – Composition

This course start building the hows and whys of good composition in a photograph.

Below are my first attempts focusing on the Geometric Point, an developing Balance, Subject, Background, a degree of Simplicity.

Balancing light and dark

Nice flow

Could be a little more off center
