Santa Fe Shadows

[Cheryl Slechta]

Another image from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Pretty much out of the camera except for levels and a little tonal contrast.

[Dennis Bishop]

This has a wonderful contrasts -- in tone, angles, and sharpness. In addition to its visual appeal, it's an attention-getter because we (at least most of us, I imagine) have to wonder what it is. I wonder how many people -- whether visitors or residents -- have seen it at all, let alone recognized its beauty.

[Diane Miller]

Good seeing! I think I'd be tempted to crop from the bottom to get rid of the rectangular area in the corner, but I'm not really sure if that is better.

[Nancy Bell]

Wonderful shadow captured on the adobe! Great muted colors & subtle texture. I really like the strong contrast of the diagonals with the blurred edges.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

You do have a creative eye Cheryl. Simple yet compelling image.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Thanks, Dennis, Diane, Nancy and Jackie:S3: Diane - I tried alternative crops and this one worked the best for me. I'm not sure why but I like that extra lighter area at the bottom.

[Anita Bower]

The tones and textures are appealing. I've no idea what it is.
