Hi Duncan
I totally agree with you. The techniques of photography are easy enough to learn but composition is less easy to quantify. I think that some people find it easier than others. I have been an artist all my life and composition has always played a big part in my thinking and what I see. Therefore the transition to photography was easy. The general rule of 2 thirds birds to one third background is a good one. Also when taking a photo think about what your focal point is and how the viewer is going to be led into and around the photo. When taking the photo leave room for experimenting with different crops/compositon within the one photo.
