Many thanks and I totally agree that there are situations where a centered subject does become more appealing than just another "Rule of Thirds" image. I am trying to be a
little more creative by leaving just enough of the garden artefacts in the shot which I do not always consider to be distractions, but enhancements. One good friend who is a
professional photographer believes that : "If it is in the photograph, it belongs in the photograph." I do not always subscribe to that philosophy, but again a centered Floral
Subject can be just as if not more appealing than one off to either side.
Thanks very much for your comment.
