Minimalist shot of Southport beach, Lancashire, England. Once again, I just love the emptiness and simplicity of these sorts of images. Notice again the principle of thirds: the horizon in one third up the frame, and the flagpole and person are each one third in from the sides. Convention is broken slightly by having the person walking out of the frame instead of into the centre of the picture. Knowing rules of composition and then breaking them slightly adds interest to the picture. Which do you think is more interesting, or looks more correct: the person walking out of the frame as they are now, or walking the other way, into the centre of the picture? Why do you have one preference over another?
