The shots posted so far are all good but seem over elaborate for Eggleston. His stuff always strikes me as on the simplistic side or maybe that's the ones my memory retains? Anyway my take on an Eggleston shot. Im not the greatest fan of his, struggle to have a meeting of the minds with a guy who can stare at a tea set for hours on end, but I do like his often total disregard for the rules of composition and way that he often framed his main subject right in the middle of the shot.
This is very well done, billyspad. The unbalanced horizon of the top of the building adds a nice tension to this shot. It is indeed very simple and very Eggleston in my opinion. He did have some more complex ones, but it is true that many of his shots were very simple, just like this.
