    This shot was taken from about five floors above the subject. The pinned image shows what was going on in my head with it. SOOC is a bit wider that this due to the limit of the zoom on my PowerShot, but I  was always aiming for the group in the blue circle and this 4:5 crop helps me achieve the story. The group in the blue circle is the obvious group of three. But what about what looks to be the loose person bottom of frame? Is that person loose at all? We can see from the red diagonal that person could also be part of a group of three. In either alternative, one member of the group is placed at the top right intersection of a rule of thirds grid, making this an odds-thirds combo. Keeping the fourth person in this way is me playing with and testing conventions around the rule of odds. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

    Great PoV- I love the little glimpse into the different spaces.  Nice light, too.

    An interesting take on this weeks challenge Troy. There's no privacy with all that glass around. Well done.

    Great concept. I might haver cropped out the bottom line as that creates a fourth person and a fourth line down. Keeping it at 3 by 7 means 3 people and 7 columns and 3 rows. All odd. I love the voyeuristic viewpoint we are offered. Nicely done
