Balance

[Just Aaron]

Im not sure waht makes this off balance.

I tryed to keep the rule of thirds in mind. How should I set up a shot of the station?

Although the structure IS interesting, it's still heavy on the right.

I guess I look at shots like this one and Im just not seeing the Balance issue.

To me the accepted shot has a little more interest. There's a nice focus (Compositional wise, not camera technicalities) within the image. In the rejected shot, I don't know what to look for.

I would suggest backing up 1-200ft to make the depot less prominent next to the train.

Thank you for the help. JT gave me some tips also.

Much better shot with the whole station visible and some breathing room between it and the train.
