What a great perspective- the columns, shadows- and the lighting is just perfect. Wouldn't look this stunning and dramatic if it was presented in color. Excellent stuff!

Super shadow play and low lighting in this one Sharon, I like the roughness of the path compared to the smoothness of the pillars

Wow, such amazing interplay of light and (long) shadows... and that texture of the floor in the foreground! What a mood it's conveying! "The outward form changes. The essence does not change." Enlightening!

I would think it is a very lo sunset? The play of light and shadows is amazing. It looks as if night merged with day and fights for the territory. Beautiful!

Twilight zone.. The shadows are long, the evening is getting closer. All the fishy characters are emerging from their holes.
Like Film Noir frame :)

Hi bluechameleon ! Thank's for your last comment. I use the Canon Rebel XT with the lens 18-55 mm only. I'm a graphic design, then, I alway add my "touch" on my photographs.
For this photograph, i like the composition and the light. Very nice !

@Sophie Asselin: Ah! Thanks for the reply Sophie, and for your kind words.

Awesome pic.
It reminds me a shot from Citizen Kain as well as an image from german expressionism
Your work on the light it's great, really great

Great work with the elongated lighting and shadows. :)

You really managed to pull off the shadow and light that creates it while managing some intermediate shades and tones. I really dig the way that there is some independence in the shadows. They're there on their own almost.
