During a street photography workshop in Seattle, we wandered through an industrial area, exploring different ways to capture urban scenes. Our instructor encouraged us to experiment with reflections, leading one of my classmates to pose so that her shadow and the building behind us were mirrored in a window. I framed my shot over a trash bin, which is visible in the foreground, adding an unexpected layer to the composition. As the daylight was fading, our instructor suggested pushing the ISO to test how well modern cameras handle low light compared to previous years. He always emphasizes the interplay of colors, and this moment was no exception??”finding complementary tones even in the gritty textures of the city.

This is a wonderful image Bunny, very effective. It's hard to believe it's a photograph and not an impressionistic piece of art. It's also a great example of different tones of both blue and orange. Posted: 03/04/2025 17:14:37

Bunny - Orange and blue is a favorite color combination of mine (diehard Syracuse fan - smile). I like the balance with the two colors more or less at the top and bottom of the image as a balance with the black and white in the middle. Your watermark in orange adds a nice touch!

I love the fact that this image is stunning in so many ways. This is a portrait of a photographer as I've never seen! Talk about unique for a person holding a camera with a telephoto lens! I learned something new to do, which is to think of a pose and ask to get it set up. The complementary colors aspect is yet another aspect that makes this photo hold my attention.
