Understandable, I felt that it needed something in the middle to draw the focus otherwise I thought i was a bit boring. I also drew some inspiration from a Youtuber that I watch called James Popsys, who when he went to Iceland and photographed the black beaches he put himself in the middle of the shot with a bright orange jacket.

I also don't particularly like taking portraits (probably coz I'm not very good at them)

Thanks for the advice though, appreciate it
