Business is looking up

What catches the eye? The unusual? The pretty? The colourful?

I was trying to find an interesting angle on a building I was photographing yesterday when I happened to turn round and notice a stainless steel pillar holding the corner of it up. That's what I aimed at, catching the reflection. I'd much rather have the viewer puzzling, then getting that 'ah-ha' moment, than a straight image. Always try and catch something that gives your picture that little extra if you can.

Course, you might get looked at by passers by as though you're not right in the head but hey, we can live with that for our art can't we?
