Hi Geoff,
This little piece seemed very familiar to me:
"The trouble is you're always there at the wrong time
of day, the light is coming from the wrong direction, there
are crowds of people blocking your view and the rest of
the family are nagging you to put the camera away and get
moving."
You're absolutely right..! :)
Thanks for making these tutorials! As an amateur photographer
trying his best, I found a few good tips here and there!
But some things have to do with taste I guess? I didn't
share your thought on framing a building with leaves. I
attached your picture of the Sagrada Familia in the way
that I would have cropped (and saturated) it.
And I attached my own picture of this beautiful church.
I intentionally left in the crane. I know more pictures
like this one have been made.... but at least I caught it
in a late afternoon sun ;).
Good luck with the website,

I think that Thijs Roes's photo of the Sagrada Familia
is very nice indeed. By shooting from a low angle he has
created a very dramatic composition and also minimised the
effect of the crane and other signs of building work. The
partial cloud cover also adds interest to the shot.
Of course it would be a little more complicated to
take out the crane because of the clouds, you have to make
sure that it all blends at the end and looks realistic.
Of course I don't agree with the cropping of my picture
at the top, I think that light corners are to be avoided
at all costs because they lead the eye out of the picture,
but we'll agree to disagree on that one.
