Still too centered? (L@@K Skippy)

Skippy keeps reminding me to move off center. I also shot these at sunset, instead of my usual midday routine. What a difference a few hours makes with the light! :rofl Any thoughts?

Ohhhhh boy, oh boy if I could count how many times I had that said to me you'd laugh, you know Lauren I still have a problem with centering at times eventually the message gets through, and you can see that an image does look better if it is not centered.

Now don't get me wrong, some images look fine centered, but quite often there is room for far better composition if you just take your time.

Looks look Great, I really like the Telephone Wire shot

I was taught to reserve the center of the photo for something very special...

Dave,
I like that tip about using the center for something special. I did a better job at all of this with my old 35mm--when I was trying to save film. I think the digital delete button has made me pay less attention to my shot.

Skippy,
The telephone line shot is one of my favorites so far. Does the wire in the lower left detract or is it ok? I have some others of this scene with different sky colors--might post another later and see what you think.

Thanks to you both-
Lauren
