Perfect choice.
Magnificent play with sun light and shadow.

Mister Earl said...

That's amazing. If you didn't say what it was, I think it may have taken me quite awhile to figure it out.

SRQ said...

Very cool shadows.

Luis Gomez said...

T, what a beautiful shot. Lovely game of light and shadows, lines, curves, textures and negative and positive spaces.

Dragonstar said...

Perfect patterns and shadows - great monochrome!

Tulsa Gentleman said...

Interesting. It took me a moment to see it. Very nice.

James Mark said...

Or as Magritte might have said, "This is not a bench." A cool shot.

Carver said...

What a great shot. If you hadn't said sit, I wouldn't have realized that it was a bench.

Kaori said...

Whoa! At first I only saw the white lines until I realized I was looking at it all wrong! Great shadows :-D

Biana said...

Wow, amazing close-up, T! Beautiful work of light and shadow! The b&w tinge is beautiful too.

Now that's one for the MoMA. No, wait, the Guggenheim, I think this will go well with the G's architecture.

Oh wow, this is really nice! I like the way the shadow adds to the photo.

John said...

That is really effective; good one.

Absolutely stunning, this is a great shot!

Mama Zen said...

That is an amazing shot!

Paula said...

Great shot...at first I thought it was an outdoor grill. I can still see a couple of big steaks on there in the hot Tucson sun!
:)

T. Becque said...

Not a bad idea Paula! Guarantee it would work, either that or one's thighs would appear grilled after sitting on that bench :)

quite interesting !

JM said...

This is wonderful, so well composed! Great shot indeed!

I love park bench shadows. I took some early this spring, but wasn't 100% happy with them, so I never posted them and I need to go try again.

Volker Becker said...

My eye and my brain have a lot to do viewing this photograph. I like the graphism and how you play with it!

The Photophile said...

It took me a second look to work this out, but it really does captivate! Nice shot, and well seen.

Hubert said...

superbe!!!

Dave said...

another winner.

jennyfreckles said...

A really interesting take - Probably most of us have seen a bench like this somewhere. I, for one, have never seen the possibilities for a great photo like this. You have a good eye.

Would not dare sit on it and ruin the picture!

Rob said...

Awesome!

Carraol said...

Great eye to see the potential in this fragment of a simple object, light, textures and shadows. Beautiful and warm moment!
(I'm so glad that you like to hear the background music and about your question, yes the good old Photoshop and for the intents in HDR, Photomatix Pro, but I not see in your work that you need anything more that your taste. Sorry for not answer soon but i'll begin to need 36 hours days). Greetings from MC.

That is nice ...! Agree with wiht Photophile!
But I would not like to sit there. It must be very hot?
