I've noticed that it is not the full detailed shot that tells all that is interesting but the suggestive one, half hidden, full of drama and mystery that catches my imagination. Like this one.

Thanks for that, way back in the film era, one of my contemporaries had a spool developed and discovered a lion behind his model, hidden in the bushes which he had not noticed, that was in Zimbabwe in the early 80's.
