When I was working on it in GIMP (like a free Linux Photoshop) I was playing with the centering. Part of me wanted all my dad right of the vertical bisector, but I didn't have a ton of extra on the left (4x3 image) and I wanted a comfortable amount of the car. I felt I needed to show the entire trunk, the house roofs, and his shoes, and that cutting into any of them would look unprofessional. But the vertical bisector cuts him, which doesn't evoke as much "lostness" as it would were he were really off to one side. But I suppose that all of that is secondary to the cell phone camera I was using! Anyway, I tried my best.
