How would you crop (and/or rotate) this one? http://www.pix-hoster.com/img.php?id=3197jo81

There isn't an obvious focus, so it's hard to say. What are you trying to show with it?

I was trying to show the nice light shining on (and the resulting tones in) the lady's back. I wasn't looking through the viewfinder in order to be more inconspicuous and get a lower angle.

It worked for me just now... I'm new to this site so haven't fully investigated the options for posting photos.

Sky is overexposed and there is no obvious main subject. And the fence on the grass does not fit.

For me choosing a main subject, putting it at 1/3 somewhere and then having the other stuff complement it is what is needed.

I realize the out-of-camera composition is not focused on any subject. I was wondering if anyone creative could see a picture in there...pretend you had a telephoto lens, would you have pointed it anywhere in this scene?

Best picture would be of the girl in the swimsuit with lots of bokeh but I would not be allowed by my wife to take or look at such a picture
