Here's a useful exercise for before you click the shutter. Ask yourself what this picture is about. Distill your answer to a single word. Pick a word that doesn't simply name the subject, but rather one that expresses your response to the moment. This is not as easy as it sounds, but it is incredibly useful in clarifying how you might want to compose the image and which elements to emphasize or crop out of the frame.
