The Weekend in Black and White: Shadow Play

This is one of those shots that didn't work well at all in color because the lighting wasn't great for full color. However, I thought it was effective in black and white. I was standing on a bridge looking down at the water but the shadow makes the water look like ground, at least to me.

For those of you who are celebrating Labor Day Weekend I hope it's a good vacation. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Click for the weekend in black and white.

Francisca said...: I can see that color would detract from the story, which is the lines, the shadow, the textures. And yes, I also see ground, not water.; September 4, 2011 at 6:33 AM
