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!

Wow Great perspective and so nice shadows !!!

Exceptional street monochrome photo. This is the best way to capture shadows...Long and dramatic! Great!
2 May 2009 6:16am
The lights & shadows are wonderful but what I prefer the most here is the gritty pavement : gorgeous !!
2 May 2009 6:29am
Super shadow play and low lighting in this one Sharon, I like the roughness of the path compared to the smoothness of the pillars
2 May 2009 6:51am
Like a powerful film noir scene - this strikes a compelling mood. Fabulous.

Excellent light!!!
The long shadows give a terrific atmosphere.. I like the opposition between the tiny man against the robust columns.

Just a frozen instant. I'm expecting that, suddenly, everything start moving in the normal flow of time.

Magnificent, love the mood and atmosphere as usual

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!

Wonderful light and shadows in this amazing composition.
2 May 2009 3:26pm

Vers la lumière il partit...
Superbe...Très cinématographique...
2 May 2009 10:05pm
Love the long shadows and tones. Reminds me of an old detective movie with the private eye following his suspect!
2 May 2009 10:14pm
such gorgeous beautiful light contrast and image Sharon, well done !
2 May 2009 10:54pm
Twilight zone.. The shadows are long, the evening is getting closer. All the fishy characters are emerging from their holes.
Like Film Noir frame :)

Amazing shadows. I like the way the light glitters of the pavement.

Fantastic, powerful shot stunningly presented. Exceptionally good and the mock-droll Title makes me smile.
3 May 2009 9:22am
Excellent DOF and perfect perspective!! I love it Sharon! The b&w is perfect for this shot. "Walking to the future" is the second title... ^.^ ... Have a good day bella. Ciao.

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 !
3 May 2009 7:33pm
@Sophie Asselin: Ah! Thanks for the reply Sophie, and for your kind words.
Really great shadows and perspective! The columns contain a perfect white and are smooth as glass. Very nice!
3 May 2009 11:03pm
I like your light in this B&W..... and shadows ... congratulations !
4 May 2009 12:01am

what an excellent picture! I love the texture of the ground, the composition of the shadows, the grey scale achieved... good job!
4 May 2009 7:16am
so very dramatic...the light is wonderful
4 May 2009 2:20pm
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
Love this one... I can't get out my eyes of your pic
;o)
4 May 2009 4:05pm
Great work with the elongated lighting and shadows. :)
5 May 2009 2:09am
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.
