A wonderful silhouette image. The man crossing, and the wires and crows are wonderful counterparts to one another. Beautiful lines and division of space.

Such innocent items combine to create a sense of high drama from so little. Amazing effect and superb photography.

Una silueta genial, llena de misterio y un tanto opresiva. Esos cables suspendido, parecen amenazar al caminante.
Cordiales saludos

The power of lines... I just love the aerial ones up there, with the birds on, and how you framed this, masterfully, there's a deep feel of harmony in this symphonic image. Have a superb week, Sharon, and thanks for sharing.

Patti Smith & your gem: Can't get any better, Sharon! Amazing how this beautiful frame pulls me in & hypnotizes me. Magical! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Une très bonne photo !!J'aime avec tous ces fils et ce personnage !

Very well done, I like these curved lines playing with the rigidity of the metallic fence, and the birds and human giving life to these two universes.

Thanks for taken us to "where all treasures laid
and where the raven flies"!
The lyrics of Pattie Smith and your visual art- what a marvellous combination. This is great!

I love this play of lines ! the contrast between the light wires in the sky and the rigidity of the lines of bridge, love the compo with the silhouette of the man ! great B&W !

There is a wonderful sense of disassociation in this shot Sharon! Almost as if the entire scene was suspended by the wires and has lost contract with earth! Well done! ;-)

J'aime ce genre de composition très épurée et tout en géométrie. Je pense même avoir choisi le même titre en français pour une de mes photos.

The quote fits so well your shot, Sharon. And these wires and guardrail make a strange network, like a network in which the black silhouette would be a prisoner.

Excellent composition! Beautiful graphism and B/W! I love the silhouettes of the man and the birds!

This carries such an emotive power within its austere composition of effective clean lines and motion. The vignette is ideal, too. Superb.

Very interesting shot. I don't know why, but when I look at this photo I instantly think that it's part of a story. Well done!

Like the old song "every picture tells a story" and so nicely captured

Excellent composition and fantastic mood--great shot!

Another terrific capture. I am so waiting for weather to improve to get out. It's so hit and miss. We still must do something one of these evenings....especially now that days are getting longer. Let me know when you are available.
Cheers!

@Macrobaby: Hey Rhonda. Nice to hear from you. Yes, I hope it clears up for more than a day at a time as well. You are on...we'll make a plan for an evening photo walk and catch some light and long shadows.
A beautiful composition with those strong lines. Excellent black-and-white work, as always.

@rian: Really! Now that would be something!
Great lines and figures everywhere, beautiful backlight !!!

The feeling of drama you've created here is stunning!
7 Apr 2011 12:56pm
lovely city shot. I love wires! Some people want to get them out of the way, but I feel they add so much.
8 Apr 2011 2:29am
Ahh... this is more back to the style that I am used to seeing here. Very moody capture.
8 Apr 2011 4:50am
Such a wonderful..evocative mood you've captured/created. Love the sense of alone-ness!
8 Apr 2011 12:00pm

I'm trying to figure out what kind of wires they are. Fascinating.

Joli et le noir et blanc lui va bien

It is on the ground, and yet it almost seems to fly!
Kind regards
