I like it. Good cropping (assumed in the field) and a dab of bright color.

There are those that assert principle object(s) should be aligned with fibonacci numbers but I don't think that's a hard & fast rule. Centered images can look just fine...

... there's that fibonacci numbers thing again.

i'd like to hear what the sequence has to do with composition.

if you're talking about the golden rectangle/ratio, then it makes sense. but you're breaking it down too much, to the actual fibonacci numbers, which sounded off the wall for a second.

I created a new thread. I'm a bit of a numbers geek (but only sofar as I can apply it to real world scenarios).
