The Decadent Shadows

Oh yes great work :) is that background for real??

Wow!!!!!!!!!! What a fab capture, Paul!

Great stuff Paul, love the simple colour scheme and the optical distortion.

Excellent shot

It’s a stunner mate! The geometry and shadow play do it for me. Great capture and well spotted Paul.

I love that effect Paul!...is it a form of HDR?...wich i know nothing about yet.

A fabulous composition.

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments! SusanZ, DannyC, PhotoBloke, LostBoy1 (I sure did apply some HDR, just enough to make it “glow”a little) and Naomi! :D

Sensational work! Just love the colour palette so much, wonderfully controlled… also, the composition works so well… you know I love concrete Paul, and your treatment of textures here just sing! WONDERFUL IMAGE!

love that turquoise colour and those warped lines, they almost make you dizzy

Awesome image, an unusual combination of texture and colour, well captured.

Awwww, thanks so much!! Paul (or should it be PVZ! LOL!), Jessica and Chanel! :D

Excellent composition….I love the shadows….

Awesome photo and treatment… the tones rock!

You decadent fellow you! Wonderful work PLV. Is that a bit of post producing I see before me? Really top stuff.

LOL!!
More than a bit mate!!
Thanks Mel! :D

wow, perfection in geometry…superb creation!

this is magical…..the colours are beautiful.

Fantastic.. apart from the great shadows, I love the colours in this!

Love to see how you transform ‘an ordinary place’, that you could miss when you blink with your eyes, into the most interesting place in the world.

Hey nice texture and colors in this Paul, I like the minimal approach.
Seems some people don’t know how to “play nice” .

It has a touch of abstract and yet it provides a good study as well. Nice image Paul.

Loevely textures.

fantastic work. Awesome color and texture. WOW

Great patterns created by the shadows. Would be great to study the shadow movements throughout the day. Wonderful work as always Paul.

Hey! Thanks so very much all of you!! Adela, Benjamin, FlyBoy, Paul, photogenique (lol!), banditart, Sharon (hugs!), mick8585, alterego, Jeff and Kitsmumma! :D

brilliant paul louis

great find. what a contrast in shapes and textures. shadow play is wonderfully done. i appriciate you perfectly straight lines too. well done.

just beautiful – wonderful light and colours and love the way it looks like the pavement has been drawn by pencil.

This is superb PLV but you know what I like most about it….... the shadow that cuts the kerb line.
Terrific job my friend.

Oooh…this is interesting Paul! Reminds me of an old 60’s sci-fi movie.
Very cool ;)

Thanks heaps GlobalPhotos! :D

Very trippy texture there Paul. Evocative of a 1980s Miami parking lot – or something! I can feel the heat. I’m still trying to ‘sus’ out the subtleties of your processing. Very well seen.

Thank you so much manotron! My processing is quite simple, I’ll give you a hint… I don’t use adobe photoshop! :D

Hmmm…let me guess…something like Photoshop’s highpass filter, but in Corel Paint?

LOL! If i knew what the hiighpass filter was i might agree with you!!

hmmmmmm…dont know how i missed this but i am lovin it Paul

Thanks so much Catherine! :D

This looks like a painting. Tis cool.

Thank you very kindly Patrick! :D

I really like this shot Paul ! The blue/teal is such a wonderful tone.
