If you remove the squirrel from the photo, the composition of the picture does not look like a planned picture. The people are off-centered and distant. Not typical for a greeting card photo IMHO.

One of the first things you learn about photographic composition is to use the rule of thirds. The photo with the couple to one side would have been a very good picture. Especially given the scenic location.

I think the photo has been cropped and therefor the comp would be just fine. Remember that’s one BIG lake they are sitting in front of for the pose.

In Canada/UK, holiday = vacation. I have a Canadian gal I work with right now and she says I am on “holiday” this week (I have taken a week of vacation time from work).

They set the camera down on a rock. One of them looked through he lens, hit the auto button and scrambled to get into place; setting up a wonky looking, off centered vacation photo (we all have them). The little furry photo bomber popped up and got auto focused. Simple, really.

Well composed photos do not have the subject centered in the frame.
When I compose my photos I try to always put the subject off-center.
Makes for much more interesting photos.
Exhibit A is this one on this thread.
