2. Sloping horizon – Horizontal lines, such as the waterfront, above or horizon should be framed to run parallel to the top of your viewfinder.

3. Head cut off – For a full frame portrait, look beyond the subject’s eyes and make sure all the head fits in the frame, and is not cut off.

4. Object obscuring lens – Take care your camera strap or finger does not obscure the lens, especially on non reflex cameras where you cannot see this in the frame.

5. Confusing background – A distracting background can ruin a portrait, change viewpoint or use shallow focus.

6. Subject too close – With a fix focus camera, do not take subjects closer that the minimum focus distance, about 6 ft (2m).
