Fallen Shadow !, a photo from Tamil Nadu, South

Photographer's Note

I still Remember, I asked my when i was kid "Mom, when will shadow goes away from me?" Still i feel i didn't understand or get the proper answers but never will finding an answers with my camera.

Our life has my untold stories... Some can find answers and many fails... My shadow or I will be a Shadow which sounds better.

A Tree Shadows for thousand life's even in live or after into pieces..

Be a Shadow for others.. even you fallen down.

I want to be a shadow to others...but one question "my Shadow, will you go away from me ?"

Olá Senthil,

All these pilars gives texture to the photo, the vagabond ,or not, sleeping in the floor gives a dramatic ambience to your composition.

Hi Senthil,
There may be stories written for this: A Murder Story: The Ripper of Chennai!
Very impressive shot. Usually you don't expect to see stories from columned perspective shots, but this one is inspiring, evoking and striking! I can just love it!
Cheers,
Deniz

Senthil: powerful composition, noteworthy for the social reportage as well - good eye on the pillars here. c

Hi Senthil,
An excellent composition with a very mysterious vision: this body on the floor. Is it a statue fallen down, is it a man sleeping on the ground? Anyway, it's very well seen and your work with the perspective and with the tones of faded desaturated colors is really great.
Regards
Marine

I like the way you have used the perspective and that endless row of coloumns with such finesse and superb vision. Lovely tones and good etxtures as well.

Hi Senthil,

This comment is not just for this photograph, but also for your gallery. You have some great shots....thought provoking. And...you make Chennai look like "Singara Chennai" Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Guru

Senthil- what a gem of a shot. choice of vertical POV, sepia colors and repetition of pillars- everything just falls in place to make it a special one. Excellent title.

Cheers,
Darpan

What a poignant photo, Senthil ! It's just perfect, I love it (more for its human aspect than for the graphism, although the form matters too here !)
Great presentation, congratulations !

(Part of my 2nd favorites -
I guess I know more or less where this has been taken and it's a great idea to have seen the opportunity of the scene !
Your note is also great to read - except that I don't agree with your "I want to be a shadow to others", instead you shine with your intelligence and gentleness !:)))

axiotea (21651) 2008-09-22 21:04

Hello Senthil
The pov and shooting angle created a great perspective and you made a good choice of the vertical format which adds to the graphism of the columns!
I don't know if I want to be a shadow for others ;)
Have a nice day

Powerful, original image here. Very excellent composition! Regards, Doug

Angshu (56760) 2008-10-18 0:29

A fine repetation of pillars Senthil, creating a lovely perspective...but that's not important here...it's the hand, extending across the corridor of the man sleeping...& what a beautiful note to go with this picture! Fine work!

Angshu
