I didn't shoot this picture with this final edit in mind. In fact I don't really know why I shot it
at all, as it's little better than a snapshot as we walked out of the town, and as it doesn't
even have friends in it, it's not even a memo for the family album! However, once on
screen, a picture very often develops (pardon the pun) out of nothing at all, as here.
And if I'm to criticise my own work before anybody else does, I would add that a number
of my pictures would benefit from having that little extra 'something' in them - something
that might have come along had I waited long enough. Like an old lady perfectly placed in
the frame to offset her surroundings, or a lost shoe that becomes the focal point of the
picture.... Here, a cat slinking along the wall would have been nice and perhaps made it a
more interesting picture. But I'm not about to start adding stuff to the images now; that
in my view would be an abuse of the photographic process: if the picture's missing
something, that's my fault, so you won't find any images that have been doctored in that
way on this site.
