Taking better photos; step 2

Tip 2:
Look at the edges of the viewfinder:

* framing the shot, look out for trees coming out of peoples heads, bins at the sides of the frame, lamp posts etc.. in landscape photography

* main focus interests, keep the main subject in the frame

In the photograph below, the white horse is the main feature of the final shot; the idea was to show the white horse and it's surroundings.
