I enjoy the pic but I just can't bring myself to see it as all that great. The framing feels to centered. I wish the orange tree horizontally was off center to the left and vertically lower. Beautiful concept though.

At some point I've felt void from all the unreflected off-center compositions I've had in my archive. My current take is, if the attached shot should be composed as it, light and shadow on the bowl should switch sides, having the shadow still on the bottom but near the edge. With the shadow as is, composing this centered would improve it as composing it off-center to the lefthand side.

This is another subject that has it's "gaze" too close to the edge. Again, I'd prefer a center composition or left weighted composition.

On a second thought, maybe this spot in the background near the lefthand bottom corner is some justification for the chosen framing.

Way more interesting compositions result from balancing out subjects and framing, creating momentum between parts, weighing counterparts and for that finding counterparrs even, leaving space for gaze or direction, have centered compositions, creating interest with offside or disrupting flickers. I think image related is one of the examples for better framing.

These are shitty pictures that prove nothing beyond shitty photographers take shitty pictures.
This >>4146038 was not a blanket condemnation of centered photography. It was a specific criticism of this >>4144930 photo. The subject matter in this picture is not done justice by the amateur way it plopped in the middle of the photo with everything around it coming off as in the way and/or simply their because the photographer couldn't be bothered to frame/crop it better.

Fair! I see and couldn't now where you're standing!
I think the framing in >>4144930 is successful. at the edges on the right and left, the trees become so dense that they create a natural framing and ending. In the "foreground" of the image are in substance 2 tree trunks, which are an equal-heavy division. The sheen in the grass seems balanced to me. Overall, the framing is very coherent for me here. That's where my original post comes from.
What's your suggestion for framing and what reasons do you see for it?
Your shot is great btw!

>>4149011
On the computer screen it bothers me quite a bit, here it looks very harsh. On the phone it looked great.

Other than the eagle photo... they all look mediocre at best wtf I take way better pics than that? Usually I like Nat Geo's selection but really? black and white pic of those salt things.. yeah my mom takes shit like that when going to the park.

pic related: my shot that I objectively find better than most posted in this thread (apart from the eagle and owl)

I think this is untidy and restless for its several spots of color emphasis, next for it gradients as well as halos of shadow and highlight corrections. I don't want to be rude, I want to say for me it's difficult to read. Photos that are curated from thousands must be memorable and outstanding such that they stay in the mind or are remembered to be one of the better of the whole bunch. I think that's what we see with the National Geographic Years series.
So are you sure you're not feeling this primarily due to subjectivity towards your own shots?

The building appears lost against the foreground. At least the foreground weight make it a bustle for the framing too, in addition to the already remarked emphasis.

It's alkso not very good IQ and looks a bit over-edited, especially with regard to the background and the sky, although I can't really put my finger on it
My guess is that the lens used doesn't like being shot against the light at all
