Sometimes in order to get my camera into a position I think would make a better picture I don't hold it to my eye--rather I hold it out. Many photographers do this--virtually all journalists do this. We'd rather try to get an angle and have it fail than sit back and just wish we were taller or could fly or whatever it is we need to get where a picture might be better. Sometimes this comes with a price. Sometimes (most times) you aim wrong missing your subject all together. Sometimes you get your own feet. I took a few photographs from this ladder and just felt the picture would be better if the camera was directly above the girls. I shot a few trying to aim my camera right and managed to get the picture I was hoping for, but a couple of the attempts were like this one, too wide of an angle and with my feet in it. I'm never afraid of taking a bad picture, I learn from them and sometimes trying something unexpected leads to pretty darn fine results. I'm in the process of editing these pictures now and haven't determined 100% if this was a one of those times that produced a good picture or not, but it was at least worth a try.
