Cliché

The interesting thing about most clichés is that they contain some truth and that they sounded very original when first used. Overuse has rendered them annoying and at times amusing.
This particular cliché still holds true for people who value attention to detail, among whom would be some photographers of my acquaintance.

This image was created for Maaike's suggested Thursday challenge today, and to see other treatments of her theme click here
