Adding an oblique line or a diagonal flow to your composition can
enhance the overall appeal of an image. Often flowers or plants grow pretty
much straight up and down, but you can create an oblique line by simply tipping your camera.
Just because a subject is lined up vertically in your frame
does not mean that you cannot take artistic license and tip your camera to
improve the composition and visual flow.
Try to use the space available in the frame to line up the
subject. As you tip your camera, keep a careful eye on the background to make
sure an unexpected distraction does not appear.
With any subject, you can always make artistic decisions
that may depart slightly from reality but that improve the overall appearance
of an image. You do not have to stick with a realistic representation, if a
little creativity improves an image.
Try tipping the camera in both directions and then determine
the angle you like best. The bottom line is what appeals to YOU.
