cross and man - 十字架と男

I wonder how you got this shot! Interesting subjects. Cool photo!

Thanks Jay!
I took from the pedestrian bridge. :-)

as always a great shadowplay :-)
NICE

Great photo. Bet you can get some interesting shots from that bridge.

Thanks Lito and Micki!!

Wow. This is excellent photography. Love the elevation angle. A great shot.

Thanks Gagan!

Great use of shadows, nice shot :)

Thanks Rob!

Very good idea! Original use of shadows.

Thanks Roberman!

Nice simple composition. I like the interplay of the shadows.

Looked at the first time, I say "that's a cool shot."

Looked at again, I say - WOW, what a powerful metaphor! What a great shot to illustrate something like that footprints poem! :) Very cool - very interesting!

cool shot

Thanks Chris, Matt and Asiko!!

I'm loving it. Feels like an out of body experience.

That's a simple and strong composition. i agree with Matt - one could draw so many metaphors from it. But i'm most amazed with your ability to see pictures where others can't.

Thanks Charles and PlasticTV!
I am always inspired by photos which are taken by other photographers. :-)

Like the shot, Nice composition.

Thanks Suby!

Awesome shot tetsu! I love the angle at which you have shot this!!

You would not know that the gentleman has his fingers spread a little, unless you looked at the shadow, just one small mystery compared to the big mystery, is it a wooden cross staked in the ground, on a church or maybe just a telephone pole (with phone lines removed in ps which is not here, but the photo lets you exercise your imagination). Did you mean to cut off the gentleman's head in the shadow while the top of the cross is complete (balance)?

Thanks Samcam and Johnh!!
When I strolled in a park, I found the shadow which was a road sign of the park. And I waited someone walking near the shadow as usual. My subject was the shadow and I couldn't put his shadow of the head in the frame unfortunately. It is better to put it in, I guess.

You always manage to capture lots of different elements in (what looks like) simple composition. Nicely done.

Thanks Jasp!!

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Looking at your blog you have an intresting style. Your b&w pictures are great, usually with a very specific composition (and message) in mind.

I'll be back for more...

nice and simple but make me think about

wonderful perspective and shadows

seductive shadows.

とても独創的な写真ですね。光と影って一瞬なのに、それを撮るのってすごい！！

Very neat picture. Love the juxtaposition.

Thanks Yoni, wiolka, Gary, Wilson and DeRAVIZ!!

Satokoさん、ありがとうございます！

上で他の人が言及されてますが、人の頭の影があればさらに面白い対比になりますね。
でも、これだけでもイイ！と思いましたよ。
スーパーショットですね。

Niijimaさん、ありがとございます！
そうなのです。頭が入っていた方がいいのです...。十字架に見える影と歩く人のことばかり考えていて、人の影をすっかり忘れていました。シャッターを切る時にはすでに遅し、です。

Brilliant shot (again)!

Thanks Glenn!

great one here.. perfect moment and kudos to ur keen eye to spot this.. i like the way the man's head is cut off the frame, gives me somethin to think abt.. ;p

Thanks Jxiong!
I cut the shadow of his head unconsciously....

You hang out in some mad places. Yet another interesting and "Tetsu" shot. Nice texture to the surface as well.

Thanks Tobias!
I will keep my own style. :-)

Excellent picture though it is a pity that the guy's shadow is cut (u miss the head!)!

Thanks Amande!
Umm. I made a mistake....

The contrast is almost as fabulous like the composition. Good definition of shadows, the B&W choise fits perfect.

Congrats

Thanks Lucas!!

Very powerful iconography.. man walking away from religion. .. or man under the shadow of the cross. Open to many interepretations. Good work!

Thanks Andy!

very cool!

Thanks Jeremy!

カッコイイ！
動きがあってリズミカルで。とても惹かれます。

kahoさん、ありがとうございます！

very good shadowgame!

Thanks Sebastian!!

I love this one too!

Thanks Fred!!

Beautifull composition. Lots of things in this picture and your work is b&w is still so good.
