Looking through the lens

I hate these shots when snappers use them in their profile - looking down the lens just doesn't work for me - it's lazy.

This shot was taken not as a profile shot, but for me to get the details of the camera lens to buy a tulip cover. When I reviewed it, the interesting element is in the background. 

Look closely and you will see the camera holder is a Poor Clare nun (my friend V) - this adds interest I'd say!
