Great light, reflections and shadows. A strong composition too. Excellent.

Metaphoric pix are my fav and I love the narrow path here - yet mirroring and finding its larger size in it. Beautiful as if drawn by the wind lights, Sharon*

Wow! The light and shadows and reflections are incredible! The image is a portal to the unconscious!

26 Feb 2009 6:15am

Such exceptional reflections. It looks like he's walking into oblivion. This capture is illusional.
26 Feb 2009 6:46am
Solitude! solitude and reflection! for a B/W sublime!

Very interesting shot. Nice feeling of enclosure. The blurred shadows work really well.

Five stars at your creativity. Fantastic control of the light
26 Feb 2009 9:16am
Love the light and perspective. It seems as if the shadows are alive, organic and pounding like a heartbeat...great choice of title.
26 Feb 2009 9:20am
like the quote a lot. nice reflections also. well captured
26 Feb 2009 9:43am
wow ! a terrific composition ,I love it ! perspective in narrow path, fantastic light and shadow, and the reflections on the walls like a mirror play so well ! an exceptional shot indeed ! five stars !
26 Feb 2009 9:50am
Duplication in the mirror and reflect who flee as a shadow to the light .. duplication multiplied shadows .. the long view towards the sun ... strong contrast to the moving image and a blurred picture.
26 Feb 2009 10:15am
An extraordinary play of light and shadow and reflexion. A great strong shot of course, bravo !!!!!
26 Feb 2009 10:48am
Wonderful those reflections. That corridor becomes a threatening way. It is almost a tunnel of the time. Excellent the black and white one.
Greetings
26 Feb 2009 11:19am
Fascinating work. Love the tunnel effect I get gazing at this excellent composition.
26 Feb 2009 12:29pm
I love the fact that man seemed crushed by the walls, but its reflection and light gives a hope of release. Excellent composition!
26 Feb 2009 12:44pm
wow,great b&w shot with psychedelic ambience around !!!
excellent work here....
26 Feb 2009 12:45pm
Great use of those abstract, blurry shadows/reflections...
26 Feb 2009 1:17pm

A very moody shot, great atmosphere!
26 Feb 2009 1:39pm
The reflections and shadows are quite striking here. Nice shot.
26 Feb 2009 1:45pm
this must be "cool hand luke"! that's what this image brings to mind! awsome reflections and shadows?!!!! such mystery
26 Feb 2009 2:28pm
Intriguing and evocative... the nook and cranny that capture the essence of the city atmosphere. So well seen and photographed!!!
26 Feb 2009 2:45pm
love the reflection, nice light and shadows! A terrific composition!
26 Feb 2009 2:50pm
Very very good. Love the light and shadow. Symbolism, though...great photo.
26 Feb 2009 3:00pm
Very touching image especially when placed with these powerful words. The shadows, reflections, angles, and image are stunning.
26 Feb 2009 4:07pm
A very brilliant expression of the philosophical nature of urban life.
26 Feb 2009 4:23pm
great capture. it would have been real good as is but with that reflection in the window, it's dynamite. Your processing is well done.
26 Feb 2009 4:27pm
I think you've found the beating heart of the city. Those wonderful reflections everywhere seem to indicate that. Beautiful work as always.
26 Feb 2009 4:55pm
like it.....ghost in the town....nice abstraction....
26 Feb 2009 7:05pm
this is an excellent reflective image! I love the shadowy tones!
26 Feb 2009 7:06pm
Excellent mood. Love the double reflection you captured. Really great work.
26 Feb 2009 7:48pm
Wonderful! I really like the shadow man in this one.
26 Feb 2009 8:13pm
I like the strong contrast, and the designed confusion some of the shadows cause. It keeps the eyes moving and then resting back to a comfortable spot towards the person. Very well done.
26 Feb 2009 10:07pm
beautiful and dramatic contrasts. I like the proximity of the haracter, and the feeling we are trapped with him
26 Feb 2009 10:11pm
so much happening here with light and shadows. full of illusion. very nice !
26 Feb 2009 10:19pm
Really cool double reflection. Amazing capture.
27 Feb 2009 12:24am
Shadows and reflections everywhere! This is great!! I wonder how he felt having you skulking behind him in this alleyway. Marvelous.
27 Feb 2009 2:18am
Nice triple reflection.
Beautiful light.
27 Feb 2009 3:00am
The words combined with the picture is perfect, the picture has a supernatural, ghostly feel to it because of that excellent reflection. Great
27 Feb 2009 4:10am
ok, so i said yesterday's was one of my favorites. now i think i like this even more.
27 Feb 2009 4:11am
Fantastic compo and once again the b/w is the outstanding mood enhancer.
27 Feb 2009 4:41am
two worlds merge. reality and the alter reality we often don't see. well done
27 Feb 2009 8:00am
Mankind created a strange world for itself. Excellent one !

The vision you chose to have is not without echoing a mix of Friedlander and Ray Metzger. The beautiful use of high contrast within dark inner reflective mood. A great third eye...very moody...
