The Lamp Post

I took this picture in the city of Cluj-Napoca.


Quite often, photographers have the tendency to use simple, non-distracting backgrounds, to make sure that the subject stands out. In this picture I did the exact opposite. Even though the background is extremely busy, there is a strong contrast between the irregularity of the shapes from the background and the regular, geometric shape of the lamp post. I think that this really makes the lamp post stand out and the composition more interesting.
