Long StockingsVery often you can tell a much broader story by selecting detail rather than showing too much information.  The viewer’s imagination should never be under estimated.  Try letting them make up their own mind what is behind the image.  By just giving a compelling composition the photo-artist can set the imagination of the audience free to make up their own story, and it may not be the same tale for all viewers.

This view of just the young ladies stocking and shoes has a natural appeal to the eye.  By including the single hand the photographer has added that epiphany, that sudden realization that we want to know more about this subject. 

The photo-artist has done a clever thing by tilting the composition so that the horizon, the curb, is tilted at an exaggerated angle.  This throws the viewer off balance and adds drama to the layout.
