Rule of Odds

A view of an alleyway in downtown Mountain View.

For this photo, I managed to get a high angle view of the alleyway behind Ava’s Downtown Market and Deli, and I used the rule of odds by angling the photo so that only 5 pillars were shown. In editing, I upped the contrast and adjusted the hue and saturation to create a more atmospheric vibe to the scene.
