There wasn't enough light to hand hold the camera. What to do? What to do? I know ... purposely introduce movement into the image, make it look artistic. (done by zooming the lens while firing the shutter)
I like 'em both too, but I think I like centered more. Offset seems just a little too close to the bottom edge and somehow makes me uncomfortable, like I, personally, am being crowded. (Yes, I'm weird.)
WHAT'S WRONG with you people! Centered totally violates the rule of thirds!!!
(oops, did I say that out loud?)
Yeah, see I totally wanted to like the off center one (because of rule of thirds) and ignore the centered one (because centered images usually don't work). But I kept going back to the centered one thinking I liked it better. I'm glad to see I wasn't alone.
