The third camera winner is Neil Speers, who has a great tip on composition. Congratulations Neil! - David.

BUT, concentrate on making the BACKGROUND perfect. That is, concentrate on everything except the subject itself - what is behind and around the subject has to be perfect. Once you've started to pay attention to the negative space, your whole composition will improve.

Definitely one the best tip.
Great Composition Tip!
Neil, such a simple thing that I do on a regular basis. Thought everyone did it. Congrats for having the fore thought to submit it.

You're so right! Mant brilliant pictures are spoiled by poor "negative space". A little time spent composing the picture to minimise this is wel worth it
Yep, will be trying this one with the new camera too !! Cheers Neil from Elise in Oz.
Thank you for sharing about negative space. My next shots will focus on this technique.
Congrats !!! PhotoJoy
This is a really useful tip! It's a lot better than cleaning up the background afterwards!
