There are 237 rules for photgraphic composition that must be followed at
all
times. Rule #237 states "If it improves the photograph, ignore any or all
of
the preceding rules."
Now for something usefull: Generally speaking, the eye is drawn from dark
areas of the photo to light areas, so the eye is drawn to the lighter
upper
left corner. On the other hand, you could mount the photo with a dark
matte,
which would 'contain' the image.
Maybe, if I were doing it, I would have moved so that the sun was in the
frame and then waited until a cloud moved in front of the sun. Or moved to
the other side so that the sun was behind me. Or maybe I would have taken
exactly the same picture you did!
