re: Friendly Friday Challenge – Shadows
It’s not Friday but I’m contributing to this week’s photo challenge anyways.
It might even have been Friday when I took this photo.
Certainly, it was late in the day in Parc Sceaux. The rapidly setting sun was a sharp reminder that there was just enough time for a final walk or one last run.
In another part of Paris, this was a typical scene from our third floor apartment. The windows were always open and any conversation was an invitation for eavesdropping. Lucky for them, I don’t understand French much.

Yes the first one is awesome. I agree with Snow and yourself. There is no deadline for the challenge so it doesn’t have to be a Friday when you post! Thanks ever so much for joining in. Was there a particular reason you chose monochrome?

The challenges have been fun! Good question. I chose monochrome because it emphasized the leading lines & symmetry in the trees, the path & the shadows. This photo was horribly back lit and the colors were all washed out. The sun flare that in B&W gives the pic a certain ‘kick’, was a distraction in color. The runner too, was wearing a dreadful orange T-shirt which along with his NY Yankees cap was more than I wanted to see š Thanks for asking. Sometimes it just as interesting to reflect on the why’s of a photo as the whats.

I can see you that you thought through that process well. Editing gives new lives to photos that might otherwise be discarded. Wonderfully done!

The first is my favorite too. It is a re-post which is why I added the second, as I wanted to add something new
