still the same technically, the eye comes to a full stop on the right against the tree. In this one also the eye is led into the middle distance and on to the horizon, something else to consider. Also the building is not dead centre leaving room to see what is beside it on the left as you look at it
yes it is not exactly paralle/ horizontal but it demonstrates my points
Simple basic techniques that can make a difference to a photo.

For those interested Photos are everywhere to study, in shops- billboards-on buses-in newspapers/magazines. Not so much the content but how they were taken.For example imagine where the photograher was positioned to get those pictures and what elements they contained.

Quote "That is very interesting, the law of viewing a picture and how one can take advantage of that law when it comes to pictures."there is what is called "rule of thirds" which applies to most BUT NOT ALL photos, which is what I quess you are talking about

May appear so but actually all the same picture. Using depth of field (DOF) is so important. Understanding how to get the best DOF needs some studying. You just can,t say this DOF is right for all focal lengths, so much depends on scene -light- aperture and lens.
I first thought get a camera and point it at something and take a picture.How wrong was I? the more you study and learn about photography the more there is to learn, and i am still learning.
It is such a vast subject i don't think there is a publication printed to cover everything which is why a lot specialise in just one or two subjects with a smattering of others. I prefer wildlife and landscape as a second interest for example

Re: Mystery Photo
The trick is to persuade the viewer to follow how you want the photo to be seenbirds and animals, give them room to go into
Even here rule of thirds applies. the bird above is in the top right third of the picture has room to fly into. Ignore the sharpness but concentrate on position and the space it is flying into

Re: Mystery Photo
Another trick is how to eliminate mesh in a photo. Ok you may think placing the lens so it looks through the mesh hole is how it is done.There is another way and what I do
I place a finger alongside a lens but just protruding from it and use that to stop the lens hitting the mesh
No I was not in there with it, using that method the mesh gets so blurred the camera focus is on the animal instead
