This phone image is a close shot across a road mural (we’ve seen the mural before: Road Flowers).
Normally we see a paved road as smooth and featureless. After a night of heavy rain the morning’s strong and contrasty sidelight showed the true road surface texture.
Simplifying the image by eliminating distractions, helps guide the viewer to the main subject.
