Off-centred and in the middle

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

To get the statue perceivably in the middle of the frame, I had to crop so the base of the statue is off centre. Looking at the base, it just doesn't look right... maybe if I didn't crop so tightly?! Your thoughts, feedback, etc.

That's Argentina. It's on the hill. It's quite well known and a common tourist attraction. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well seen, that's the small Statue of Liberty standing in the middle of the Seine river, in the 15th arrondissement :lol:

Onyx, the picture looks good to me. Ideally, getting a higher vantage point (to the Statue's head level) would be nice, but who will pay for the helicopter?! :roll:

As you've taken that off cenre, I don't think it's worth while trying to correct. Crop the base off and it'll look soooo much better (IMO).

Leave it as it is since no matter what you do with the image something will be off centre. Also interested to see you've updated your location in your profile. Maybe it should just say jetsetter :lol:
