The View From the Ledge (3/38)

I like this photograph because it’s interesting spatially. The fence in the foreground gives the viewer the sense of being in an interior space, looking out. The same kind of effect would be achieved, for instance, by a photgraph taken from the interior of a room through a window, just capturing the window sill in the bottom of the frame. Also, you can see through the portico on the far side of the pit to the street beyond, which adds depth, as well as adding to the mixed-up inside and outside feelings. It's also framed well pictorially, in the classical sense, since the light coming in from the upper left draws your eye to the vanishing point in the center of the photo.
