POTW 3rd November 2009

Postby Glen on Wed Nov 04, 2009 12:12 pm

Congratulations to Big V for his shot "In the spotlight". Taken in Adelaide, there are a number of points of interest. The eye is immediately drawn to the streetlight and interesting wall it illuminates, then secondarily to the individual who has chosen to finish his night with a nap in the light of the streetlight. B&W suits this image perfectly.

Good choice Glen
Wonderful image! I love the way the eye only discovers the human figure after being 'mothed' into the light.
