ts: so have u tried e 1/3 rule?
maybe next time, u can take 1 version of your subject with 1/3 rule
and another, your current style. you may be suprised... 
on your pics... i might wanna suggest playing with depth of
field... if possible...
i am a beginner photographer too and i am having big problems
....

final note: kudos 2 u 4 being able 2 shoot gekos... i haven't been
able 2 shoot 1... they always run away...
