Some would say too central. But it works for me.

Re: Some would say too central. But it works for me.
Me too.
If there's nothing to 'balance' the subject (in the composition) and the subject is not 'facing' one way or the other (e.g. left or right), then the "don't shoot the subject in the centre of frame" rule/advice becomes irrelevant (to my mind).
Cheers, Dave

Sometimes a centrally positioned subject works and it works here mainly because the flower is positioned so high.

I like it too
I have no problem with the image being central but IMO it might look better if you reduce the empty space a bit on both sides.

The crop looks nice Brian
May I ask why you didn't include the bottom part of the flower in the frame while shooting ?

I wanted to see as much as possible of the unopened blossom details. Using the 18-55 mm lens i needed as close a crop as possible. And i like the vase effect. Originally Posted by bnnrcn
