I usually shoot for b&w so we'll see how this goes. I have a small collection of red images to get me started but my intention is to get out and shoot.
The shadows of the people stand out to me. I find it interesting the shadows frame out a cross image made with the expansion joints in the sidewalk. Deeper meaning of red.
I agree that this would be a perfect book cover. This is awesome!!
(We should have a challenge for shadows that tell a story.... or something like that.)
I also thought of a book cover right away. the composition is dynamic and engaging. the word is an important part of the composition. It would be an interesting idea to come up with photos that are off balance and then complete the composition with text.
Can't help but wonder what's above the red part. Good example of photo commentary. The opposing RED at the bottom and red at the top draws the whole thing together.
Le rouge et le noir - formidable book cover but not for Stendhal.
I really like your departure from B&W. And it is a selfie of the best kind. Looking forward for more red.
lol .. i'm laughing because altho your theme is red it has your black and white stamp all over it .. !! ..
and also i'm thinking this could be a self portrait .. !! ..
i'm really liking the border .. but then i am partial to them .. :)
ps .. i put the original in with my molly the cat pic .. :)
I can't help seeing your second shadow as climbing the 'wall' of your border. Even the pavement partition contributes as a climber's rope. Sorry, it's just me. It doesn't detract from the impact or the appeal. I like the arty red wall in the background.
