All about shadows
What I love about black and white photography is that it really focuses your vision on the details and patterns around you. In this photo I took at the aquatic park stands in San Francisco, I was really impressed with the richness and strength of the shadows from the railing and stairs.While the pattern on it's own was interesting, I felt that including a person in the image would draw the focus away from the trashcan and help elevate the image from a simple shadow study.

this is lovely Ahamed
I like the play of shadows here. The perspective is interesting and your eye is drawn downward to the woman on the steps.
Nice patterns here with the shadows.
I totally love this shot. I just started taking pictures in B/W and think that they are BRILLIANT!
Thanks for the comments,
I was happy with how this one turned out.
Nice viewpoint and perspective. Very graphical. And yes, definitely the person in the background add the finishing touch.
A vry strong image!
finally one that kicks some butt, good job finding an interesting pattern and a person to complete the image.
yes, beautifulness. b&w always forces me to look at patterns and shadows - just like this. perfect photo to show us the beauty in b&w. reminds me of one of mine from last summer.
Thanks for the comments.
Good quality black and white shots seem so much more timeless than color images. I think it's because it forces you to look at the world differently.
I don't know if the shadows or the girl sitting in the bottom of the picture makes this really great, for it's really great. Good work.
Sweet design. I love the preson sitting at the bottom where the zig zag ends.
Brilliant perspective
cool shot :)
