 Taken at the Parthenon replica in Nashville, TN, at midday with shadows being cast from the columns on the side of the Parthenon. The alterations on the left are caused by stepped layers in concrete walls.

cropped, Adjusted curves, increased vibrance and clarity in Lightroom, sharpened and exported

I created a B&W version, but decided I preferred this one.

Love this pattern and light. It's a lovely abstract. Would be stunning in b&w too.

All the sharp shadow lines draw the eye into the frame. Wish there were something back there.

This is good. I'd crop it tighter to remover the dark area in the right and some of the top and bottom.
