THIS WEEK'S TIP Creative Composition: Beware of Stray Colors Everyone loves color, but sometimes a bright color is simply in the wrong place. In fact, this topic comes up a lot. Students and other budding photographers concentrate so much on their main subject that a stray splash of contrasting color slips by unnoticed. But that clashing color can draw the viewer's eye away from your subject to the edge of the picture or to the background. - Note #1: When composing your image, if a bright red or yellow object grabs attention - and it's NOT your primary subject - then the best advice is to recompose and leave it out of the picture. - Note #2: This advice is from The BetterPhoto Guide to Creative Digital Photography Top Ten Tips All Tips Add Your Own Tip     Featured Gallery Dog Pictures © - Donna R. Moratelli Welcome to the 669th issue of SnapShot!

Read his expert insights here... Why are BetterPhoto's online photography courses so inspiring? Here's what instructor Jim Zuckerman has to say: 'One of the great things about these online courses is that students participate from all over the world.
