The worker was building the reviewing stand for > April 19th (Patriot's Day) parade. This time I knew it was all about > composition, the idea of a "framer" framed by his own handiwork. > http://users.2alpha.com/~pklein/oldpics/framer.htm What I like about this shot is the similar, reversed shape of the man in the church window on the left. I think your subconscious noticed and made you take the picture. I used to find surprises like this in my street shooting all the time. I wouldn't know why I took a shot until later, so after a while I got comfortable letting my gut determine the pictures.
