I think your undoubted photography skills are matched by your communication and teaching skills. For me you make the main points in a clear way that is very effective. I went out this morning and saved several frames of film by following your guidance and declining after realising what the possible shots were missing. This is quite liberating as I feel much more in control when considering the merits of a potential composition. Thank you.

Thanks. I really enjoyed this one and would definitely like to see more of this type of content. The “anti-models” are really helpful in exemplifying your points and I really like the fact that you use your own past images to show your journey as a photographer. By this I mean that it shows that you too have experiemented, made mistakes, reflected and learned in order to get where you are. This is encouraging as it means there is hope for us all...

The shot at 10:54 would be balanced if you cropped just less than 50% off the left turning it into a square crop, the wooden plateu? would create a diaganol lead from bottom left to the top right.
