    Travel Photography Tips | Finding The Best Composition

    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | Buffalo at Bario | Sarawak Sometimes what separate good photograph from the bad one is the composition. From the main road, what will catch your eyes is the last photograph, there were a woodshed behind the buffalo, that background is not a good background. Too cluttered to make the buffalo standout, I almost never took the shot but I just took it, so I can make a comparison to my blog readers.
