Amen, to that quote! Even when I don’t have a camera with me I’m always looking at the compositions of life around me! Good photo, Monte!
Monte Stevens
Thanks! This is another image that has been sitting in the archives collecting dust. Now that I’ve discovered it it is one I really like. I only wish I could have eliminatedo the hanging lamp And may be the reason it sat for so long.

I really like the quote and especially the photo, Monte. And while the lamp doesn’t really bother me, a square crop might be an effective option. You’d lose the big archway but I think that’s OK.
Monte Stevens
Thanks, Tom. I had not thought about a square crop of eliminating the first arch but it would work that way. One of those indications of the blinders I can wear.

I like the light fixture where it is. It offers details of the light fixture in the distance of the shot thus connecting the front of the image to the back. It’s a great shot Monte.

You’re right it does, Cedric. It is an example of how we miss things when composing in our view finder. I was focused on her and trying to get the image before she was gone. It all worked out. I like it a lot. Thanks!
