Greetings,
I have been taking pictures for years, but am now trying to learn a bit about phoptography. Below is a photo that I took yesterday for the Straight from Camera assignment. For some reason, I'm drawn to this "angled" version rather than my straightened version here:

Here's my question (I hope I can explain it properly). Is the "Leaning Doggy" more interesting because the "Straightened Doggy" is boring and it's the lesser of two evils (so to speak). Or, in your opinion, is it a better photograph, and why?
Sometimes I look at a photo I take and my mind's eye says "Oh my, what an artistic shot" and later when I look at it I'll think "What in the world was I seeing?" I don't trust my eye to know what's whacked out and what makes a good photograph. How do I learn to detach myself from a photo to see it for what it is? This little statue was a gift from my husband because at the time we had a wonderful English Springer Spaniel, who has sinced passed on. Emotional attachment or marginally interesting photograph?
Thank you for your time and opinions!
Debbie
