Sometimes art and design is all about the perspective. A good image can make a normal object look appealing. A great image can make a boring object look divine. This image of a crumby table was taken with my Blackberry (hardly a professional camera by anyone's standards) with no editing. The initial framing and colors are as is. Think about how your perspective is affecting the dynamics of your image. Try doing one of the following to add spice to your shot:
.Shoot wide - Zoom out, back up, take in the scene
.Move in - Walk in close, get up on the subject, don't be afraid to crop close, consider investing in a set of close up filters or buy a macro lens
.Get low - Lay down and look at your subject from a different perspective. Low perspectives sometimes add drama and grandness to everyday subjects
.Get high - find a ladder or a chair and elevate your vantage point. This may allow you to better fill the frame or to eliminate unwanted background clutter
.Twist and turn - Who says you have to hold the camera straight? Who says that images are either portrait or landscape? Break a few rules. Get creative!
