*****July Photo Contest*****Submission thread 2 of 3 "DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK"

[Duncan Grant]

32. Rubber ball in the hallway.

Having participated in a few of these contests, I honestly appreciate all the entries. Seeing everyone’s creative side is wonderful.

Here’s what I appreciate about “Rubber ball…”:

-Great composition. The diagonal shaft of light adds movement to the sphere (imho)
-Contrast. The high contrast of black and white is aligned perfectly to the theme.
-Sphere/ball. Rule of thirds has been applied. The roundness contrasts nicely with the straight lines and angles.
-Theme. The shadow in this photo clearly captures the theme. One lone white element enters the darkness (metaphor/allegory) and casts a long shadow. It’s smart, clever, provocative. Minimal but effective.

Now I’m going to head over to the photography forum to see who composed this. I thought it was a terrific submission.
