    The broom

    We go to Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Delhi, India and I take a picture of a cleaner's broom leaning against the wall. I just loved the simplicity of the look and how the traditional broom lookied in place against the floor and wall. The cleaner removed it and continued sweeping the interior of the tomb moments after I took this picture.

    Having a good time?

    This shot is a tad grainy and soft but it would be, in colour or B&W, a great
    candidate for an imagery project!

    That's because you've got a well-trained photographer's eye and can see the image that many, many others will not.

    I just love the position of the broom relative to the graphic lines on the wall.

    I like the contrast between the curved broomhead and the straight lines elsewhere, and I think you have the horizontal line at just the right position in the frame. Well spotted Manfred.

    It works very well being right on the corner with the white lines. I agree, it would probably do well in b&w.

    Good ol' Cleansweep, not as blingy as a Firebolt or Nimbus, but quite reliable.
