Thanks for the kudos on the others. The first frame I shot was tighter, but when I looked at the proof sheet, this one gave me more visual pleasure somehow. The other one was too central. I like the way the line of the far right broom would intersect the point where the siding meets the corner of the window. And extend the line formed by the top of the bag - it touches the lower left corner of the window. In my pictures, I shoot on intuition, and like to analyze the geometry later, for fun. Sometimes I put a print in a mylar page protector and draw lines on it, to see what might be going on. Alan Happy in my weirdness.
