Crossword Genius

A striking piece of photography (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rap

'a striking' is the definition.
(rap is a kind of striking)

'of photography' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'RAP' is hidden within 'photography'.

'piece' is the link.

(Other definitions for rap that I've seen before include "Knock, tap" , "African-American music in which the lyrics are spoken" , "Blame, punishment" , "Knock sharply" , "Knock for par" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
