The most important part of taking a picture, aside from lighting, is absolutely positively the photo composition. It drives me COMPLETELY bonkers when I see pictures with bad composition. I guess that's one thing that separates a good photographer from a really really bad one. When I see people on FaceBook page post photo's that are really really bad I have to just stop looking. I get SO embarrassed for that person. I wish I could post one to show you but I'm not that cruel. Now I'm not saying that I'm perfect or EVEN close to being perfect. There's no such thing. I've made many, many, many of my own mistakes......but I've learned from each "bad" mistake. But when people keep making the same mistake over and over again, it just makes me nuts!
Most people don't understand that when you take a picture, you DON'T need to see 3/4 of the ceiling or 3/4 of the sky!! Come on People!! That has been my #1 pet peeve for as long as I can remember. Whenever I have someone shoot a photo of me, I always have to tell them "head closer to the top of the frame please." I can't begin to tell you how many "bad" photos could be "good" if the one taking the photo understood the correct composition of a photo.
