I agree. When I first looked at this shot I thought this could be an interesting scene if the photographer had moved around in front of the door to better compose the shot. Then I saw who the photographer is and understood the odd camera angle. All JP shots appear to be taken with either a very long lens or a camera hidden inside something else. Sometimes though, like last week's shot, these shots capture one person, in a group of oblivious people, staring at the camera and it makes the shot interesting. Not interesting like 'that lighting is unbelievable' but more like 'Oh crap! She saw us. RUN!' I feel guilty just by looking at the photo.
