took this shot about 1 year ago, I know it breaks the composition rules of photography, but it is cropped, I will post the original image in time(very different scenario to this). C+C welcome. ps. i know about the top right
it’s a very evocative image. I know the cropping takes away from it, would like to see even a teeny bit on the left to give it a little more room. but very lonely indeed, the title is apropos.

Which compositional rules do you think it breaks? :)
When people talk about compositional rules they always forge to include the pre-supposition of “balance”! If you do’t wan it to balance (to add impact, emotion, tension), then you do’t necessarily want to contrive the compositions for balance.

thanks for the comments guys. I was told by a few people that this photo doesn’t “work” as the boy is looking out of the picture and not into the empty space, which probably would look better.
I agree with Summerdream that it could do with a little bit more on the left.
But none-the-less a great photo.If the boy was looking into the landscape he would be connected to it, but by turning away from it shows his disconnect from everything.
I feel we are drawn into the empty landscape but it is unsettling as we are aware of someone in the periphery with his back to it. It is hard to settle the eyes on either.
Of course the headstone and general glumness add to the mood.Martin
same again with what martin said. his back turned to the empty space emphasises his loneliness.
