“Every man has a different idea of what's beautiful, and it's best to take the gesture, the shadow of the branch, and let the mind create the tree”

Superb play of shadows in this wonderful and most mysterious image!

Mmm, quel doux mystère feutré dans cette image qui glisse comme une petite fuite, oui, c'est ça feutré ...

Love the trees your mind create ! Shadows looking for the right square to lie down ~ Love your atmospheres, dear, in between bright lighths and dark shadowlands*

Gecial. The shade persecutes to the passages of the traveller. Escelente the black and white one

Lots of shadow play in this sinister looking image
16 Apr 2009 8:11am
Love the blossom texture in yesterdays and the simplicity of todays

Nice shot. I like the composition and the light in this photograph.

The noise and fury .. shadow and light, the drawings of the shadows that create an imaginary world .. this world that attracts you and you know so well developed. Moving shadows shaping another world .. your world.
16 Apr 2009 10:27am
The person is caught in the frame at a perfect spot. Love the dappled shadow of the leaves and the accompanying words.
16 Apr 2009 10:35am
Shadows, shadows and shadows again. Light is so shiny, that the shadow tree almost looks like a reflect in the water.
16 Apr 2009 11:07am
This is a superb shot Sharon! There are so many messages that are portrayed here. Some hopeful and others less appealing. Well done! ;-)
16 Apr 2009 11:33am
great composition of shadows and light ! excellent picture !
16 Apr 2009 11:36am
Fantástica composición. Me encanta el juego de luces y sombras y los reflejos de la luz rasante sobre el pavimento. Es una de las fotos más bonitas que he visto en los últimos días.
16 Apr 2009 11:43am
I like the way the figure is cropped. It reinforces the action of exiting the scene. Great shadows, light and patterns.
16 Apr 2009 12:09pm
Great play between light and shadows!
16 Apr 2009 12:52pm
Terrific composition and light and shadow. Outstanding Faulkner quote.
16 Apr 2009 2:17pm
Such a strong image, full of drama and suspense, and excellent in b/w.
16 Apr 2009 2:19pm
You have given us the literal image of this excellent Faulkner quote. Alfred Hitchcock also understood the principle, and used it to great advantage. Too bad subtlety is no longer practiced among far too many movie makers today. Have our imaginations died? Thank you for this reminder.
16 Apr 2009 2:28pm
Superb mood and composition here.
16 Apr 2009 4:25pm
Hey, I see you like the low key. The photo and the composition is great, but meaybe you loose a bit of contrast making it so dark? :)
16 Apr 2009 4:43pm
@xavier cardell: Thank you Xavier :) Hmmm...on both my computers it does not seem too dark to me, but thank you for letting me know. Cheers!
I think your shot represent a very social urban life. It's because of the way you tone them and way you capture your subjects. Always some sort of action and it says a lot.
16 Apr 2009 4:50pm
A photo well in your style, your way of seeing.
16 Apr 2009 5:22pm
Excellent shot and yes I can see the tree in my mind great work !!
16 Apr 2009 5:48pm
lovely mood and shadows. Also combined with nice textures!
16 Apr 2009 6:51pm
Lovely, haunting image which looks like it is hiding all kinda secrets . . love your style.
16 Apr 2009 7:05pm
Un excellent cadrage! Superbe composition, silhouette et ombre! J'aime!
16 Apr 2009 7:12pm
This is just MAGNIFIQUE in french ;) The "dark" of this image is stunning, it's bright and dark at the same time, but not too contrasted, magic... Congratulations Sharon...
Faulkner is one of my prefered american writer, with Steinbeck and ...

Fantastic capture-love the shadow and the silhouette together.
16 Apr 2009 9:36pm
Wow, wow, wow!!! A graphics work and impressive light. Sublime.
16 Apr 2009 11:44pm
