I was so pleased to see the sun this morning since this week's get pushed challenge from photogq is shadows.
The golf course was quiet when I wandered it with camera in hand.
Good light and nice composition. I like the depth.. I'm drawn through the gap to the bridge and the path beyond. The b/w treatment enhances this I think because there is no colour distraction. My only reservation concerns the right hand quarter which pulls my eyes that way and I don't think it merits the attention! Not sure where I'd make the crop though.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on so many of my photos - really appreciate it - especially since I haven't had as much time to spend on 365 as I would like.
I know what you mean about the shadow pulling your eye to the right. This was a shadow challenge so i incorporated the shadow and gave it far more importance than I normally would have.
There was always something that bothered me about this photo and now I think I know what it is.
I wanted the bridge and path to be a background to the shadow and inadvertently made them the focus yet the shadow was to be the main object.
I should have lined them up with one leading to the other - or disregarded one altogether and concentrated on the other. The two strong focal points pull against each other ... live and learn!
