Bad composition

Out of the frame

Here's an example of a poorly composed picture. I admit I didn't spend enough time composing it. One cardinal rule that was broken in the picture above is that the guy is looking outside of the frame. His gaze inadvertently causes the viewer to wonder what he's looking at, which leads the viewer's gaze also outside of the picture. Not a good thing.

By the way, I read an interesting article on Salon.com this morning -> click here. It's about an American born Indian woman who gets so frustrated with the Western dating system that she decides to go back to India to find a mate.
