Nice pics rap....best be glad that lady didn't see you take her pic.sbecaus. One of the basket weavers go off on a lady one day...said Old belief, about it stealing their spirit"....no joke....
Wonder if the lady had offered her. A fifty if it would have made it better? Jk
But that's a nice pic....I like the pelican on the water one the best...
Good work on the set. I'm liking the red and flounder pics as well as the tarpon? breaking the water.
While there are dozens of elements that go into making a picture "good," the number one thing that you can do is make sure that the image tells a story. The eye needs to be drawn to the subject of the image on first glance and then that subject or what's around it must tell the viewer what the reason for taking the picture was all about. If you haven't already, google the rule of thirds. This is a great rule to follow (for the most part).
Just don't get to caught up in the "rule" so that you lose shots because you are fumbling for the third holy ground thru your viewfinder. A crop tool works well to 3rd you up most of the time.
