>Hi Harrison,

>Beautiful work. Nothing like looking at the photography of a professional
>who knows how to "work a scene or location!" It isn't just some quick happy
>snap of a water fall and move on as we usually see. It's the many elements
>of well composed photographs with all kinds of "actions and angles of the
>moment" when people are involved and without. The LIGHT! Verticals and
>horizontals of the same scene, but each with it's own impact of composition
>including extra elements of subjects.
>

>Those who are amateurs among us could very well study this complete series
>and learn much about composition by comparing each photo with the next where
>they are shot of the same subject. What makes one photograph more
>interesting or better than the previous or next? What are the small things
>that gives one photo the edge over another?
>
> 
>
>It' the peak moment, the timing of body action that adds to the photograph
>being better due to clicking at just the right moment. 
>
>Good on you lad. A great start for my day with a fine feel good fix from
>your photography. :-)

>Thank you.
