•  Question - What, in your opinion, is wrong with centering? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:31, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

The tower in the center with the trees hiding the Stramberk castle and houses make a center unbalanced composition, there aren't a main indentificable subject. I invite you to read Balance in Photography --The Photographer (talk) 14:33, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I'll have a look, but I consider the identifiable subject to be the landscape itself. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:29, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Is this the issue you have with the near-symmetry of this picture? "The main issue with symmetry is that most scenes do not have two identical halves." The thing is, I don't see the tower as being dead center, anyway - it seems a bit to the right to me. And I don't think there's been an attempt at symmetry, as there is more greenery on the left. Also, there had been a bit more to the right, but I requested a crop because a construction site was overly distracting to my eyes. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:33, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

 Comment I agree that in terms of balance, it would be helpful to place the tower slightly more off-center. Unfortunately, the way the buildings are set, an off-center composition does not work, so I had to stick with the composition as it is. I think it is still pleasant and gives an accurate representation of the tower and its surroundings. --Hendric Stattmann (talk) 19:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
