While I was walking around looking for another ME-ICM (Multiple Exposure-Intentional Camera Movement) shot, I found a great unrelated composition. There was a mural on a building that was being remodeled and a chain linked fence to keep the riff-raff out.

I composed the shot and focused on the fence. I like how the one flower appears to be the girls hand holding the fence.

NOTE: There is about 15 feet between the fence and the mural. UPDATE: The distance separation is actually 25 feet (7.6 m).

Actually the photo bothers me and it took a bit of looking to see what I didn't like.
I don't like that everything is in focus.

The scene is extremely tight for shooting:

~ Immediately to the left is a Portable Toilet.
~ Any higher is the top of the fence
~ To the right is a sign tacked to the fence.
~ Behind me 1 foot away is a traffic lane.

I went back today and reshot with a shallower Depth of Field. I feel this tells a stronger story.
