Remember that photography is about Poetry, Visual poetry, your voice is the most important part of your image. Dont let the technique get in the way of what you are trying to say. Gesture ,Emotion & Feeling are the most important part of how you tell the story. Wither it is a self portrait nude on the end of the Pier or a composite with a HDR image, you are letting your soul out into the world just like a great Poet?????
