Driving to work yesterday morning the sun and shadows caught my eye. So I pulled over and grabbed my camera. The color of the sun was nice, but I could not get things to look right in a color version.

Intriguing image the backlighting has a good effect with the person in the image and the pylors from the bridge not sure how others take this but i think it was very well thought out image ..Well done
Love how the lines of light rays and shadows complement the lines of the street and vertical lines of the beams that hold up the overpass. The lone silhouette of the person adds visual interest for he could be symbolically walking towards the light (and a brand new day).
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Oh, this is excellent - the long shadows, the red coloration and the lone figure - all such strong compositional elements. I like the texture on yonder wall too though I think it is a little over-sharp. I really like the blazing glare of the sun as it pours in - quite apocalyptic; in fact, your scene has a touch of 28 Weeks Later rather than 'Hope and Appreciation'.
Critical stuff: I think parts of the image do look over sharpened and I think the image would look slightly better balanced with a slightly tighter crop at the top.
Overall: A very convincing image that I like a lot.
