"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you." by ltodd

"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you."

I like this Maori proverb because it can be interpreted in many different ways.

I only had a few minutes at lunchtime to grab a co-worker and take this shot using a polarising filter in brilliant sunshine. (there is a little distortion in the compressed image that is not visible if you view the enlarged version here. Not quite sure why that has happened?)
Thanks go to Michaela for modelling on the footpath of the busy street outside our office. :)
instant fav, the detail is amazing, and the proverb too. wonderful!

@tkeen Thanks Toni - I initially set out to photograph a totally different (abstract) image, but was challenged by the closeness of the surrounding buildings & trees and this was the result of an instant change in plans!
