Can you see what I see?

The subject of today's post is about looking at a photography subject from every angle and possibility. The two photos in this post are of the same subject taken on the same day and within minutes of each other. On an early morning walk, I saw  the light coming in under the bridge from the East. I took a few shots and thought I had captured a good photo.  I continued walking under the bridge, and glanced back at the bridge. What a surprise, the better picture was behind  me.                                                                                                                                                     
As you can see, the picture taken back toward the bridge appears entirely different, and to me is far more interesting with a completely different feeling. 
This greatly  helped me recognizing that often a better photograph only requires a look from a different direction or perspective. I hope this tip will help you find great photographs that you may have walked past or not noticed.
