Vantage Point

One of John Szarkowski's five things in The Photographer's Eye is 'vantage point’. Along with 'the thing itself', 'the frame', 'the detail' and 'time' these five things can be used to consider any photograph. They can also be things to think about when taking a photograph. And having taken one shot you can ask yourself how might I change one or more things to change, and maybe improve the picture. In this case I went for a minimal sort of shot of a gap in the prom wall. But I wasn't very pleased with my first shot (extra) so changed the vantage point and took another one which I liked more.
