I try (and i mean try) to do that to my shots but I tend not to see my faults.

Good tip Neil. One of the first assignments in a class I was taking was called "The Thing Itself." We had to explore an object or setting, taking pictures from many viewpoints. We had to look for angles, patterns etc. using different focal points and aperture settings to draw focus to what we wanted others to see in the photo. It was a valuable lesson.
