× I sometimes take include buildings in the background to make the photo more interesting.
✓ I sometimes include buildings in the background to make the photo more interesting.
The verb phrase 'take include' is incorrect because two verbs are placed together without proper structure. Use a single verb that fits the meaning. Here 'include' alone correctly expresses adding buildings to the composition. Suggestion: remove 'take' and use 'include' or rephrase as 'take photos that include buildings'.
× There's something coming about being near the ocean and it makes me feel relaxed even though I don't like getting tanned.
✓ There's something comforting about being near the ocean, and it makes me feel relaxed even though I don't like getting tanned.
The phrase 'coming about' is incorrect in this context and creates a sentence structure problem. The intended adjective is likely 'comforting' to describe the feeling. Use a participial adjective 'comforting' or a noun phrase 'something comforting' to fix the structure. Also add a comma before 'and' to join two independent clauses. Suggestion: replace 'coming about' with 'comforting' or rephrase as 'Being near the ocean feels comforting.'
