After several months, I still haven't convinced the people at my usual coffee shop that I'm not a freak. Probably because they're mostly freaks, and they know one when they see one. Oh well, at least I seem to have been largely accepted as one of the resident freaks.(posted 8621 days ago)I've also used the high-angle method you mentioned (I'll post such a shot in another message). I have mixed emotions about your shot. I like the non-standard vantage point think it captures something about here posture and attitude that you wouldn't get from a lower perspective. I'm uncomfortable with the overall composition, though; it's strikes me as an unhappy compromise. I feel like it should be cropped tighter around her or that it should be a wider angle shot giving me a greater sense of her environment.
