    Very interesting, Jen. The shadow is fascinating and doesn't seem to belong to its owner.

    I sat against a dark wall watching as group after group walked through the harsh light in the alley for about an hour. I've sat on the images for a while, but then this particular one began to resonate with me. Thanks for the comments.

    The shadow seems at odds with the expected body language of the legs/feel of someone walking past. I like it.
    The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer
    ... I'm still peeling potatoes.

    A female lurking in a dark alley for an hour might have her motives misconstrued.

    Definitely something 'film noir' about it which appeals to me. Compositionally I also like it. The only thing that throws it a bit for me is the bumper and indicator of the car behind the trailing leg.

    The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. - Brook Atkinson- 1951

    I like that the legs and shadow seem disconnected, that is their actions seem very different (not physically separated). I'd almost like to see the car wheel on the left cropped away, although it does provide a framing element for a more claustrophobic feel.
