It is truly a treat to see someone take the trouble to compose a great photograph. The second pic is my favorite also- we often analyze guns or politics; how about his photography? As we help others in their double gun awareness or shooting skills, how about shooting pics? What makes his pics better than most?

I'll start: the ridge and rock form lead in lines drawing the eye to the subject. The law of thirds is prominent in pic two. The immediate background has a dash of color, the distant hazy background landscape is muted and almost mysterious, not unlike the techniques the master painters employed, and of course, the utilization of light and shadow.

Your turn.
