what's wrong with this picture?

ok, can anyone tell me what wrong with the photo below??

does this picture look like it was taken by someone who knows what he's doing?
i don't think so.

correct me if i'm wrong, but if you visit the Statue of Liberty and someone asks you to take a picture for them, wouldn't you assume that they'd want the statue to be in the picture too, and NOT just the lower torso of the statue?? why in the world would anyone take a headless picture of the Statue of Liberty?!? and us girls are so far back in the background that you can barely see our faces. so what exactly is this picture focused on? what horrible composition! what was the dude thinking? he even took a second shot that looked exactly like the first one!

the funny thing was that i'd purposely seeked out this guy to take our picture for us because he was carrying a professional SLR camera... so i ASSUMED he'd know how to take a good photo! boy, was i wrong!

anyways, we asked someone else to take another picture for us.
much better! wouldn't you agree?
