That's the difference between boring photos and interesting ones. The viewer knows exactly where to look. Their eyes aren't wandering all over the page, on the way to the next one.
A good camera class might just be the difference between having photographs or just snapshots. Take the class!
These same compositional skills are used in ALL the arts, not just photography. They will carry over into your painting, sketching, sculpting, etc., etc., etc.!

I am going to do it, I told my father and he also wants to go (he's going to use my mother's compact camera) and tonight I'll ask my sister if she wants to come, too. So much for a day out on my own
.
I'm now trying to think what I can do on my own, but can only come up with the things I usually do (Amsterdam, Rotterdam/The Hague).
