August Challenge

A stone railing with underlighting, casting light on stairs in black and white. Taken at 50mm F 1.8. I took this one at night in Geneva Switzerland

Good raw material to further explore the possibilities.

Beautiful. But cutting off the bottom of the lower pillar ruins the symmetry a bit.

Excellent point, thank you!

Nice shot, Steven. I appreciate the texture of the steps that the bit of light exposes in contrast with the solid brightness of the pillars. Perfect for b&w for sure.

The screen was scrolled in a way that cut off the bottom pillar of the photo while I'm typing this. It caught my eye, and I kind of like it better without the bottom pillar in the photo. What do you think?

I agree, this helps overcome the loss of the bottom pillar. Great idea!

Well-spotted Sreven. I really like the light on the stairs, which adds interest to a recognizable element in the frame.

I do agree with Jenny on the cropping, with the lighting on the stairs leading to the lighter element at the top.

Thanks for posting - I hope to see more engagement from you within the group.

A great idea in this photograph & developed in the right way. The cut from Jennifer removes the spot on the probably ground, grabbing attention. That makes it even stronger.
