Weekly Challenge #112

Viewpoint

The challenge is to consider photographing from some angle other than eye level.
For this shot I found a nice bench in front of a mens' clothing store. I held
my small point-and-shoot camera in my lap, pointing it slightly up ...... and then I waited
for people to walk by. I took many shots (nobody had any clue as to what I was doing) but I liked this one the best.

Canon PowerShot G9
1/200s f/2.8 at 7.4mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

He's being watched from several viewpoints...

Nice one!
The circular reflection acts like a spotlight drawing the eye to the phone.
Great photo with many layers.

very nice angle and love that it looks like the mannequins are watching him, nice reflections add even more interest. Very well done~
