    Default Theme - Gaudi Shadows

    This shot of shadows on the wall at Casa Battlo (one of Gaudi's creations) in Barcelona reminded me of a cave painting of someone dancing. Straight out of the camera.

    Great colors and curves, and the range of tones is wonderful. It looks like the dancer is on the other side of a back-lit translucent screen. Two pats on the back -- one for Gaudi and one for you.

    The tones are to die for, and the light is beautiful too. Love the "dancer", very creative Cheryl.

    Your "eye" for these abstract-type images is to be envious of! Love the graceful lines, the pale tones and the glow! Those delicate curves at the "arms" and 'legs" of the dancer are the cherry on top!

    Beautiful image Cheryl, and thought provoking - I would describe those shapes and shadows as "seductive in a very subtle way" - stunning work

    Kind regards,

    Cheryl,

    Greetings. Simply beautiful! Shadow shapes showing the flowing shape of the architecture and a great eye for the capture. Good show!

    Cheers,

    Ditto X5, your eye sure picks up things I wouldn't even give a second glance at, and you turn them into art, well done

    yes, ditto. I thought at first it was one of those desert photos or even one of the Arizona rock formations you had changed colors on. Many imaginative applications here...Love me dancer. Good eye for you!

    Great composition. Love the warm monochrome. The shadow reminds me of some Matisse frescoes at the Barnes Museum in Philadelphia. You have a great eye.
