12 October... Breaking the (compositional) rules

I can't believe I'm even posting this... but it has to break the rules, it's the worst self portrait ever !!

Let's see, it's....
Underexposed.
Out of focus.
The subject is dead centre, with
Distracting lines in the foreground, and
Distracting details in the background

Canon PowerShot Pro 1
1s f/3.5 at 33.9mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I'm too distracted to look any more. Maybe you should have offset it on the page?

I think you broke every rule in the book, but since I haven't read it, I could be wrong :>)
John Beck12-Oct-2006 21:24
Yeah, but you framed the face. Nice job.
