Went for a walk to the local park yesterday. On the way I noticed this bizarre little scene at the side of the road and had to rush home for a camera before someone drove over it or parked their car on top of it. I don't know what is happening - looks like the couple were washed up together in the gutter after the last heavy rain - but looking at it today I'm amazed by the way the leaves on the left echo the feet, which I didn't actually see when I took the photograph. I think it demonstrates why you shouldn't try to set photographs up, or re-arrange the raw materials. You don't have to.
