When I shoot I take the entire image into account. Yes the focus is on the subject but I also want the "eye candy" in the photo to tell the whole story.
I will shoot in places that has fewer wildlife because the location is full of eye candy and avoid places without. It's the typical way I get the "different" shot.
Good post.
