Regarding composition? I think most of us aren't professional photographers or have exceeding understanding of photography. There are basic tips, however:
- reduce the screenshot to what you really want to show (better in the beginning or later with cropping)
- avoid the center, pictures are less static this way. On the other hand use the center if you want 'static' and when it suits the motive (e.g. buildings)
- use the rule of thirds and/or golden ratio (don't overrate them, however)
- use 'lines' and other objects in your picture to 'lead' the eye towards or away the motive (you can rotate the camera to help with that), cf. this picture, by Mareju at WorldOfPlayers.
- lighting/shadows shouldn't 'swallow' details unless there's specific reason for it
- try out different moods with soft (big light source and scattered with less shadows) or hard light (small and direct light source with deep shadows)
- avoid to many lines in different directions, try for a bit of symmetry cf. this picture; this is not mine, though and credits goes to OneOfMany, a German forum user at WorldOfPlayers.
- rotate the camera to make the picture more dynamic
- use DoF to focus on your motive (this correlates with point 1, focus on your motive)
- fill the frame (see point 1)
- fill the frame with shallow DoF (DoF in front, motive in the middle, DoF in the back)
- don't fill the frame if your picture 'needs' the space, e.g. someone running towards something/someone (show where he/she is running to)
- see http://deadendthrills.com/ for motivation and practical application
You can find many others via Google, too.
And the primary tip is: - try, try, try!

I really like that three pane version. Very cool style!

GTA4. Basically unmodded, except I removed the horrible bloom and DOF filters via cfg tweaks.

This looks genuinely great. Is it running on Frostbite? Dice is doing outstanding job.
Yes, it's on Frostbite 3.
Except the engine wasn't made for games like Mass Effect. It's unbelievable with what issues the team had to deal with.

That is intresting. Can you say more? I though that Frostbite is very universal since it popwers up also FIFA.
Skyrim? I played this game a lot and I wish it looked that good.
What mods are installed?
Anyway looks great!

This looks fantastic! Now you need to give mod list, there is no escape.
I'm not running a huge list atm, the main thing is this

Imo a thread like this doesn't make sense: PC are not console so their screenshots are just an exibition of how much money can you spend on their hardware.

Oh boy, wrap it up everyone, this guy just dropped all the truth right here. Y'all have been wasting your time on this here ostentatious crap, because it turns out it doesn't make any sense at all.
(here's a ME:A screenshot so this post doesn't go entirely to waste)
