  1. The subtlety of the smaller, softer shadow, coupled with the bolder linear shadows--pure magic!

  3. I like the bright, bright colours and the faint, oddly antenna like shadow, like an alien peering in.

  18. Speechless. On Wordless Wednesday. When I'm typing in Tuesday...

    Simple, subtle, perfect lighting, peaceful...

    OK then. Not speechless. Those that know me would never believe I could be speechless. They're right. Great shot.

    It's not just the shadow. The color is what makes this photo pop. That brilliant orange bright to mind the last flare of sunset. Beautifully captured, David.
