Good advice Trevor. It's very easy to "see what you want to see", which isn't always what's really there, if that makes sense.
Even the same viewpoint can give two completely different views, depending on the point of focus. I took these two shots on Saturday, from the same position, using the same camera/lens/zoom but just changing the point of focus. The first one is the shot I had in mind when I was first framing it up but I actually prefer the second one with hindsight.
