This is a photo of my shadow. I am on one knee
and am next to the light post as well. I tilted my

This is a photo of where the benches are. I saw the shadow of the trees on
the wall and it caught my eye. So I decided to approach the benches and hoped
that this idea of a wonderful landscape would work with the tree's shadow
creating an interesting design to the photo. I did not intentionally try to add the
benches on the bottom corners but what I did try to do was make the photo
balanced on both sides.

A photo of Quintin by the light post. Here we can
see the ray of bokeh produced by the sun and the shadow.
This photo may not be a really good example of tonal
contrast. Hopefully his black coat and the sun reflected
from the concrete works.
