Really? I've seen many, many photographs that looked down on the subject; how about the hoola girl, there's one right there...

Cruzin said:another tip is to be aware of your background, which can easily make or break a picture. Your background does absoulty nothing for the picture and therefore becomes a distraction. Also try to straighten out the image in the viewfinder before clicking.
The hula hoop picture is a great picture for many reasons. Tuna captured only what was essential to the photo. The tone and contrast were suberub. Tuna was able to catch motion, excitement and fun without even having to see the girls face which made it more interesting. And yes there are times to break the rules on very few occassions and the hula hoop was one of those times.
We are all here to learn and enjoy, keep trying, honest critism can only make you better..

Absolutely not wrong or un-pure in any sense! That's my style as well, to capture the moment as it happens, and preferably to remain unseen by the subjects. What I tend to do is move myself to get a better shot vs. asking the subject to move. Especially with my sons, if they know they are being photographed they make it exceedingly difficult I try a lot of different angles to have a good selection later on for editing.
