This way or that
“This way or that” -a photo by GMS on Flickr.
I love this shot for the wonderful perspective. A wide angle shot with some distortion.The sheer beauty of the stones takes your breath away.The distortion makes the picture larger than life.The line that forks out into separate streets is exquisite.The “undecidedness” of the street is simply delicious.

Photographing the silence
(Photo by Bennehboy-Ilove corps on Flickr

What is interesting in this picture is the body postures of the lady and gentleman whose silhouettes form the focus in the foreground.Their shadows are not clearly delineated in the pool of light but definitely convey some sort of an attempt to lose themselves and become real and three-dimensional. Both seem to be going separate ways but between them is a common objective and a destination. May be they are attending the same meeting or something. Apparently there is a bunch of people in the darkness of the background ,perhaps around the registration desk. The quiet efficiency of the atmosphere is revealed in the way silence comes through in the softness of the light.The silence is accentuated by the squares and rectangular shapes in the picture (i.e.the doorway etc,)
