Shadows in the street Photo

Photographer’s Note

When I got out of my hotel early in the morning, I saw this man walking down the street. Still on the doorstep, I immediately took the picture, because the shadow was getting shorter.

Hello Boris,
nice picture. But it's almost a W&B picture !
The background is maybe too bright (?). I find that the contrast is too strongh between the back and the front, the back almost white and the right side of the picture almost black.
anyway i like it

I personally like the strong contrast between the back and front. The long shadows are nice too.

I like these shadows in the haze of the morning and the shiny pavement. Well done.

I love such morning photos. Photos when life starts another time, when people go work, when all start once again to go sleep at night. Moody photo.

Very very good, the shadows and the lines too. We can feel this early moment in the day...

Beautiful shot Boris. Like Laurent said, almost B&W, which makes it very attractive. Nice compo, I love the texture on the floor. I would maybe have added some contrast but that's personnal. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful shot, the mood created because of the over-exposure at the top of the picture is wonderful, hazy, lazy shadows on textured streets!

Hi Boris,
like a lot conbblestone streets and th elong shadows in your image with the wires adds a lot to your image. Personally I add a little more of contrast to give more impact at the shadows... nit picks of course.

Hi Boris,

I think that this picutre transmitts a particular sense of peace and reflects the village atmosphere and its daily life.
I like it for these reasons, moreover, with the shadows and the strong light at the end of the street it seems that the men are walking to a special destination or condition.

Congratulazioni.

A peaceful town you had shown me with this picture, I like it =)

The brightness is perfect for me.

Hi Boris, Very good mmody composition. Excellent result undr these light conditions. Almost a sepia-type result. Good to see this vision. TFS. Murray.

nice picture ... but i think the colours should be stronger and you could have lowered the brighness.

but good

I really liked the way it has been composed, quite simple and yet very attractive.
