About this set :
I go through my contact's flickr pictures on Flipboard in my iPad. This app arranges the pictures in chronologial order, but on each page it changes the order to best display the pictures. So I have found interesting patterns and compositions of this stream. Enjoy.
Note : This pictures are not mine, but taken from my contacts. If any of this should be removed from here, please let me know. Thx.
The September bonus challenge at Compositionally Challenged is "Self Portraiture". For this shot, I set the camera on a tripod in portrait mode with a 10 second delay. And stood in the bathroom with a white shower curtain for the background.
In my humble opinion, this is the toughest challenge we've had in the 4+ year history of the group. Be that as it may, I do my best with every challenge, even if that 'best' isn't very good. Venturing outside my comfort zone is almost always a good learning experience.

Where to place the horizon line?
Most pictures look better if the horizon is positioned above or below the middle of the frame, not directly in the center of the image.
