Sometimes it is more about the framing than it is the angle. Although, the angle didn't hurt with this one. Shot from across the Tidal Basin, I didn't think the base level telephoto I was using had the reach I was hoping for to get a decent shot of Mr. Jefferson. Indeed, it couldn't zoom in as far as I hoped. That shortcoming, however, turned out to be a good thing, as I was forced to rely on framing it properly to get this shot.
Taken with a Canon Rebel XS with an EFS 55-250mm telephoto lens, this was the first photo I captured, proving that sometimes the ones you think are stinkers turn out to be the best when you view them on your computer.
