Roxie Guilhamet level-classic September 07, 2012

The lines here are too busy. The curved lines zoom by the cat and lead us back out again—not good. Because we enter images from the bottom, the big line leading from the left side to the cat would have worked if it had started from the bottom and then led up to her. If all the lines had been perpendicular to her, that would have worked too. Try again.

Good leading lines are strong. Your photos will be much more compelling if you pick one strong line to lead to your subject. I've posted a few examples of what I mean. #1485184

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.


 

The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
