The escape

This is one of the few pictures I see you use the two-third rule.

Try to use it. I'm sure you will like more your pictures; see this links abour the rule:

Thanks Edgar, I appreciate your advice, but I've always thought that such rules are to be broken!

I prefer a much more spontaneous approach to composition, rather than obeying the rules of perceived wisdom. I didn't think about the 2/3 rule when composing this photograph, it just seemed "right" when looking throught the viewfinder!

I'm currently exploring square format photography where such rules don't apply! - [no doubt there are others!]

Regards, Nick.
