This was one of those photos that made me think about how to push the limits of an iPhone and how I would translate what I've learned when I eventually switch to a "real" camera.

Originally, I wanted a picture of just the building with clear sky in the background. But positioning and repositioning didn't provide anything of interest so I decided to experiment with compositional balance. At first, I included the moon but eventually I added the contrail as well. The photo stopped being about the building and became more about what we can see over our heads.

In the end, I decided I liked the shot. Sometimes setting aside standard/rigid photographic rules can produce something you're happy with.
