This has a very nice pattern of lines, Michael, including the curve on the left which serves as a counterpoint to the decisive slash of the bridge on the right. It is an intriguing geometric study. --Lannie

Thanks so much, Lannie. I must confess that the geometry didn't attract me as much as the shadows of the street lamp and the utility pole. Hope 2018 is a wonderful year for you and yours. - - michael

Nice composition in B&W, Michael! PDE

I believe composition is key here because it puts the emphasis on the right side, Michael. Wonderful textures, light and presentation. Best regards, Paul.

Looking through some of your featured photos and I came across this one which I like very much. Sometimes you really capture the sweep of a scene and this picture is a prime example. I don't know how it escaped my notice back then.
