Bar de l'Abbaye, Paimpont

I was enjoying a quiet coffee with Mrs S on a dull Easter Monday morning when, suddenly, a shaft of sunlight shone through the window casting shadow patterns on the wall.
Oh love this...very cool shot indeed :-)

At first it looks like selective coloring. Great light and wonderful shadow!

Very nice. Did you reduce the saturation on any of it (or increase on the frame?) It really works well, in any case.
April 21st, 2014  
Very cool shot, this one. I like the chosen color tone and the eye-catching yellow frame. In the end though, it's the shadows on the wall that catch the most attention.

Wonderful reflection on the wall.

@aecasey @aecasey @lyndemc Thank you ladies for your comments: I gave this my usual processing in Lightroom and then upped the contrast and clarity a bit more than usual. I tried the shot in B&W but, in the end, I liked this colour version best.

How perfect. This is why we take our cameras everywhere! Love this clear shadow and empty spaces.

Hi Richard, thanks for asking me to partner for this week's get-pushed. I've really enjoyed browsing your albums. How about trying some textures and architecture this week for get - pushed?
April 21st, 2014  
Ps, I really like this shot. Fav

I take it the " cidre" disappeared then Richard.

@pjr It was too early for cider Pete... or so Mrs S said ;-)

@gailmmeek Hi Gail - thanks for the interest and the Fav: 'architexture' eh? OK, I'm up for that... even though we don't have a lot of that in rural Brittanny!
April 21st, 2014  
Very nicely caught, makes for a very interesting shot.

Love the shadow patterns but also love the texture on the wall. Light I am finding speaks to photographers. It spoke and you listened.

@joansmor I was talking to Margaret and I looked away from her to pick up my coffee and I was knocked out by this image exactly as you see it... fortunately, my camera was lying in my lap so I picked it up and snapped this!

Great Capture

So perfect. Absolutely fantastic mix of light and texture. Well done.
April 22nd, 2014  
despite the business of the image, there is a wonderful simplicity to it... nicely spotted and nicely captured!
April 22nd, 2014  
So simple but beautifully effective.
April 22nd, 2014  
love this capture of the shadows
April 22nd, 2014  
Wonderful light patterns - and thank you for bring a little bit of France in to my day.
April 22nd, 2014  
Lovely capture.
April 22nd, 2014  
This is just wonderful and could have one right now :-)

Great shot!

@vignouse great! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

You have such a good eye - this is gorgeous. Love the light and shade and the textures. Also the sound of a kir breton!!
April 23rd, 2014  
Love this!

Lovely photo ... Brings back memories of sitting in French cafés and restaurants and I quite fancy trying one of those Kir Breton too! Reminds me of the lovely Breton cake that I got used to having for breakfast with jam and fresh coffee while on holiday - it's probably a good job it was only for a fortnight! See what your photo has done? Such lovely memories. :)

Incredible light. Love this shot and cider :)
