I saw this scene on my first day at work in the new office. I'm not really supposed to be taking photos there, so I kinda snuck over to get a shot with my phone. I tried it three times and went back to my desk to post on Instagram. I realized there was a waste basket visible, so I went back to move it and try again.
My phone has a problem, where if I zoom in with the screen, it doesn't take the photo. I needed to zoom to get the right angle of everything, and to post it on IG. That happened, and I didn't realize it until I got back to my desk. Now, I know this is an issue, so I have no idea why I didn't check to see if it took. So I "snuck" back over and did it again. I mean, I took the photo, and went back to my desk without checking to see whether I made the capture, and found out I didn't. I gave up. Some time later, I decided I'd give it one more try.
I finally got it, and went back to post it. Unfortunately, I was so intent on getting and posting the shot, that I didn't realize I didn't get the shot. I realized later it didn't look very good. It's the first one here. The second version is the way I intended it.
A couple of days later I brought my big camera in, and did it right. The image is divided roughly into thirds. The middle third is the open doorway into the conference room. The left third is the door itself, partway open, and the right third is an etched glass window, with a pattern of lines. Out the window across the street is an ionic pilaster (embedded column), centered in that third. The vertical line of the door bisects the window that's next to the pilaster. And you can see the pattern in the glass. I think it's a successful image.
This next one was taken with my phone as well. It's the only phone pic where I got the composition right, but it's got that wastebasket. Even the light levels are correct. If I'd stopped to really look at the photos on my phone, I would have just posted this one.
