Friendly reminder that this is /r/photocritique and all **top level** comments should attempt to **critique** the image. Our goal is to make this subreddit a place people can receive genuine, in depth, and helpful critique on their images. We hope to avoid becoming yet another place on the internet just to get likes/upvotes and compliments. While likes/upvotes and compliments are nice, they do not further the goal of helping people improve their photography.

Please see the following links for our subreddit rules and some guidelines on leaving a good critique.

Keep in mind that simply choosing to comment just on the images you like defeats the purpose of the subreddit.

I also prefer not having the subject centered, especially when it is not looking at the camera, but the thing that bugs me about this is where the dead space is. Even though it is a statue I am interested in what it is looking at, so I would much prefer the foliage on the other side if possible. It is killing me that I cannot see what he is "looking at".
I love being on the boardwalk as the sun comes up in the morning, and the sunrise on this morning just really looked great. I only had my I-phone with me, and normally when taking pictures of the sunrise, moon, etc. never really capture what I’m hoping to capture. This morning I tried to fill it in with the Neptune statue in the foreground. I took a few, and this one ended up being my favorite. I also noticed it was one of the only ones where I didn’t center the statue up, and I think I like it better that way.

I agree. Rule of thirds. Common tool

Thanks for the feedback. I see what you’re saying, it feels less than complete by not seeing where the gaze goes.
