Checkers and Door, Circa 1995

used to walk by here commuting to work....

Lovely image. Nice symmetry. The verticals remain upright. All lines seem to lead in to the door, which is, at least psychologically, the main point of interest. The tile adds a nice graphic touch. The shadows are the only things that seem to fight against the natural directions of the architecture.

I love this composition but if possible would consider reshooting it with an attempt of eliminating the obtrusive shadows on the walk.

Tough to reshoot as that would require a substantial trip. I see the shadow, sometimes such things can't be helped and it is my policy (not always) not not alter the photograph as it is documentary in nature.

 

Thanks for the comment.
