shadow play

At first it was the brilliant sun in the window that caught my eye, but then it was the play of shadow on the facade that intrigued me. I had a hard time figuring out which branches were from real trees in the foreground and which are shadows.

Very nice Michael! Love it in b&w.

Love the stark B&W touch to this shot. That flare draws the eye right into it.

[Lisa]

Love the lines on this building! B&W is perfect for this shot.

I like your decision to do this as a b&w. It really makes the lines of the shadow and flare of the sun pop. I also like the texture of the buildings.

All those lines and the tree silhouette make for a really interesting shot and then of course the sun reflection - a real bonus. Great shot.

Great shot, nicely spotted

And the b&w is perfect for the shadow play . . . the effect of the silhouettes seems almost like lacy tentacles . . .

Hey Michael, my push challenge is for you take some photos of sunset or sunrise over Lake Michigan.

[Kate Goring]

I love this, great capture of all those shadows. Fabulous shot.

[Daniel]

the strong lines and contrast are very dramatic. I agree that not being able to tell the actual branches from the shadow makes this very interesting. great shot!

@vankrey perhaps you should go for a dusk/sunset shot wherever you are. It can't be that late in the evening and if the weather is inclement then this would add to the mood, or even blueness
