Which photo do you prefer below? The subject is the same--the Aulani hotel lobby, also called the Maka'Ala in the lore of the resort.  One is framed by a lampost and umbrella. The other is zoomed just past it.  Two ways of looking at the same thing, and each with its own unique features.  That's the fun thing about photography.  Do you like the view framed or unframed?
