Photograph: “Street cart. Udaipur, India” by Nicolas Winspeare (username “Nicolas Winspeare” on Flickr).

Originally shared on the Photofocus Flickr community right here.

Why I picked this image: In street photography you can use existing physical objects to frame your subject. That can be a window, a door, a mirror, trees  or an arch. Next time you go outside make the point of looking for natural frames that you can use to frame your street subject.

Nicolas took this street scene in India. And the image by itself is already interesting and strong. But he focused on the street cart and waited for a person to walk into the frame that he created with the structure of the street cart. The shallow DOF adds to the 3D look and gives a bit of mystery to the scene.
