Light and Shadows in an alley in Antwerp
Not considering myself much of a street photographer, but I did shoot this street earlier today. I find the play of light and shadow quite pleasing.
Thoughts, opinions ? Does this fit in the monthly challenge ?
Looking forward to any feedback !

Thanks for posting Ian. I think this is a fine documentary shot of a street scene set against some wonderful architecture.
I feel the shadow on the left of the frame is important to add depth to the image and isolate the highlighted woman.
Just to play around I have tried cropping to see if we could give more weight to the shadow area and give more emphasis to the people. Just to generate thoughts.
BTW - I love the architecture and low light in this image.
Thank you for your feedback !
I actually didn't create this shot with this challenge in mind, but I aimed to highlight the architecture. I wanted as much of the houses in the frame as possible, from the 'stepped gables' (if that is correct English - google translated that from 'trapgevels') touching the sky, down to the street. I just waited for interesting light, the rest of the image is coincidence ...
It was only when editing, that I realized that it could fit in the challenge.
I also experimented a bit with different crops, there's lots to be found in this image I think. Here's a fairly aggressive one that I found:
