accidental vignette

I was talking with a friend the other day about
photos and the "vignette" was mentioned and I've remembered
this photo.
This is an accidental "vignetting" event...and well we can say
this is not even a decent photo, the problem is that I like it :)
I am not sure how it happened, but I think it was the lollipop
wrapper that I had in my hand... It was dark so I had to hold
the camera securely, but the wrapper got in the way of the lenses
for sure, or then it was an H1 glitch.
I know this is supposed to be a throw away photo, but I just can't...
I am too sentimental, even when it comes to photographic garbage :)

However you did it it's ALL good. I would NEVER toss this one... My modus operandi is to first open and process the BAD ones... Did I mention I love this shot?

Like it! It has an interesting composition, love the vanishing point in light!

Love the dark mood in this image Ana! As you have shown here, images that work can
come when you least expect it. Nice 'filter' from the lollipop! :-)

Porquoi pas! Bravo for the risk Ana! Indeed there`s a dangerous mood in it!

These lollipops are so dangerous!! ;-)
You did well to keep it. There is a sense of danger that the shadow develops.

It's workin' for me! Funny, I can't see it being as effective had you exposed normally. This has a great, gritty dark street feel to it. Um, that is to say, I like it. Who knew? :O
