'Not quite right' photo comparison

[TheFungle]

Hello All

It's been such a long time since I've posted in here

I'm looking for comparison pictures of good composition vs bad composition and I'd appreciate help in sourcing some, my Google skills are clearly failing me this evening.

I intend to use them to highlight the subtleties of good design vs bad design and also how some folks can pick up on what makes something 'right' without necessarily knowing why.

... just perhaps do the same image with different crops ?

... common mistakes in Car photography with composition are not allowing space around the car in the frame to "breathe" and also just filling the frame with it...

If you have the ability to lecture on design and use composition as an example, can you not take your own good and bad photos?

No copyright issues either.

If you haven't got the time to take your own, unsplash is a pretty good resource for finding royalty free imagery. I've used it recently to do something similar.

This year's official US Presidential Christmas photo will do you for a start.

Very good point

However as I've discovered trying to take a deliberate and subtly wrong shot is a lot trickier than it sounds.

Whilst my own pictures are far from perfect they do tend to mostly follow the basic rules of composition.
