Light HouseWhen we find an interesting stationary subject too often we take the first photograph that comes to mind and walk away satisfied with what we have.  I have found that working the subject, looking from a number of angles and versions to shoot; will result in more images to select from.  My experience is that the last version or the first version are more often than not the ones we end up selecting but we learn what worked and what did not.   Take lots of versions, pixels are cheaper then film. 

Another thing to consider if you don’t want to do a lot of computer processing later is to bracket the exposure by at least one half stop, if you have time also bracket using a full stop.  This will give a number of exposures (lighter and darker) images to select from.

I like the near sanitary the photographer selected and the use of the plants in the foreground to give depth to the image.

I would suggest that the photographer work the subject and take the time to develop a number of options to select from.  They may also want to look for details within the scene to concentrate on.
