Our choice of shooting angles and focal lengths are two of the most important decisions we make with each of our photographic compositions.
We can find an incredible subject, then squander that image opportunity if we use a shooting angle that places the subject against a distracting background.

Choices of shooting angles and focal lengths can have a significant effect on eye flow.
