Evocative Shadows of People: Moving or Still.

Waking the shadows seems such a fictive thing to do.


Michael Stone will be proud of you! You're quick and you did it!

I wonder though if it's not factive instead. After all, you didn't alter anything. We just don't see the woman and, so simply imagine her.

This reminds me of Henri L. Bresson's street work, but it's far, far better! Actually this is an exceptional photograph; just superb! Those legs, BTW, are really so very delightful! :)

Tom has kindly allowed us to spike a new thread with his photograph from a current thread here, so we can look at images where an element of a "being", a person's presence, is there with shadows. This interplay can be of any combination, just very special to you!

I do not have many - here is one:

Michael,

Well, you have maintained the standard. I was worried about what would follow. Very simple and there's life and so much room for us to do as we please! :)

BTW, I like that you didn't try to "perfect" this by removing the stains on the stones upper left and lower right. This would have made the image less real and more like an architectural rendering.

Asher :)
