welcome to APAD maybe you would like to try taking the pictures in different perspectives and composition instead of a centre "head-on" approach. keep shooting, looking forward to more...
yo! hahhs.... i hope to start a APAD soon! after some further experimentation with my cam
to add on from what andrewtansj said, perhaps you would like to apply the third-rule. by placing your subject 1/3 in a photo magically makes your picture look more appealing. also, try out post-processing... a bit more work, but makes your photos look more vibrant.
my two cents worth. :bsmilie:
for your APAD, do you/will you post a photo taken on the day itself... or a photo from your 'photo collection'?
