One captivating image a day, the reason it was chosen and how you can shoot similar pictures
Rakhine Buddhist monks pray for peace at the Sule pagoda in central Yangon. The main subject surrounded by other monks praying gives the feeling that the image continues on outside the frame. Try using some creative cropping to make your images feel like they a small part of a larger scene.Minzayar
A ladybug sits on a rose in Lofer, in the Austrian province of Salzburg. Using the rule of thirds to compose with lady bug in the left third of the frame is a very pleasing image. Try placing your subject in one of the 1/3 areas of the frame instead of the centre.Kerstin Joensson
Doves are sold at a street meat shop in Shanghai, China. The shallow depth of field isolates the birds from the busy background. Try using a shallow depth of field to bring importance to part of your image.Eugene Hoshiko
Corn poppy blossoms are photographed on a field near Ried im Innkreis, Upper Austria. Shooting from such a low angle cleans up the background so the flowers stand out against the sky. Try getting down low and using the sky as a background.Kerstin Joensson
This is an unusual family portrait, with the parents looking away and only the children's faces visible. It brings an interesting level of tension to the photo. The low angle helps keep the background clean and the blowing sand adds an almost dreamlike quality.
