photo of exterior detail
A photograph focused on a small part or detail of an object's exterior, with an exception for very narrow objects.
An exterior detail is any photograph of a small portion of an object's exterior, normally meant to highlight a particular detail or feature of the surface, and not to provide a general impression of the whole object. A detail shot should generally not span the entire height or width of the object, although exceptions may occur with very narrow objects if the shot is composed with the purpose of showing a particular detail in close-up.
The composition is intended to show a particular exterior detail in close-up. A photo of exterior instead gives a broad impression of the object or a substantial section of it.
Spanning the full height or width normally points away from a detail view. The stated exception applies to very narrow objects when the composition still concentrates on a particular detail; the extent in the frame is not the only consideration.
