Paradise?, a photo from Luanda, North

Photographer's Note

I think this scenario particular funny. Great Landscape, we are on Mussulo Islands near Luanda, capital city of Angola. The beach is just great, blue sky, clear water, nice sand, a paradisiac landscape. And then....that tractor in the middle ruining the picture...aaaaah!! huh??

You're right, the tractor does spoil the paradisiacal view, but it does tell a story of progress. After all, that's what keeps the sand so smooth and clean. You could reduce the brightness, or, even better, the exposure when taking the picture. Also, the two main subjects, the umbrella and the tractor are rather central. Try to get your main subject in the position at the "intersection of thirds", that is, if you were to draw imaginary lines on the image at one-third in from the sides, where the lines intersect is the most attractive position for the main subject.
