Melbourne Candid Series #1193 De Graves St

 


Two figures blaze in the sun,
bare arms, swift steps,
their dresses cut sharp against the light.

On the left,
the shaded tables hold their hush—
diners folded into shadow,
whispers curling like steam from cups.

Between them
a line divides the world:
light that exposes,
dark that conceals.

And the lane,
forever narrow,
swallows both.

  2. An excellent capture. Plus, the light is intense and powerful, making the photographer's job even more difficult.

  3. Sombra y luz, en dos zonas muy bien definidas de la imagen. La luz hace destacar a las personas que ahora circulan por derecha de la acera, mientras la sombra oculta todo lo que a la izquierda.
    Feliz fin de semana.

  4. Love that photo of the happy youngsters. The poem is amazing especially the second stanza On the left,
    the shaded tables hold their hush
    diners folded into shadow,
    whispers curling like steam from cups

  11. Hello Roentare :)
    You did a great job of highlighting the young girls in the sun. and the older couple , and leaving everything else in the shade.
    Enjoy a happy week
