Photographer's Note
The man is headed to the main entrance of a hospital in the northern suburb of Athens Maroussi. The shadow on the right shows the architectural pattern of the facade and the man, judging from his brisk walk and the fact that he's still holding the key of his car parked nearby, must be a doctor. I took this picture from a far vantage point, at the eastern wing. I liked how the shadows looked on the bare uphill driveway.
Thank you for visiting

Hello Ourania,
It's interesting, but not surprising, that you still have photos left from that window in the hospital last year. The dark silhouette of the man and his long shadow are similar to those you showed before, so the special characteristics of this photo are the jagged shadow to the right and the white lines to the left. All these details make the photo graphically and artistically very attractive.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Ourania,
A beautiful study in shadow play. The man and his shadow is well positioned and I like the jagged shadows occasioned by the adjacent building, which adds to the graphism. Excellent rendition in black and white.

Ουρανία καλησπέρα,
η σκιά το άνδρα όπως και η σιλουέτα του,δείνει μία ενδιαφέρουσα οπτική στο στιγμιότυπο με το άσπρο στον υπόλοιπο χώρο να δημιουργεί το τέλειο κοντραστ.Η παρουσίαση και η τοποθέτησή του στο κάδρο είναι πολύ πετυχημένες.
Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Dear Ourania,
The picture doesn't feature much elements, but the strong contrasts make the image very graphic. I like the shape of the shady area and that the man looks like hading to it. You also captured his move very well.
Best Wishes,
Gy.

Hello Ourania,
what a juxtaposition of man and shadow strolling fearlessy and uninhibited towards an unknown destination,
and the unsharp, but nevertheless threatening teeth on the right side. Minimal phtography is always rewarding.

Hello Ourania
Here is black and white the only possible choice. The silhouette of the man and his shadow and the saw tooth of the building. A fantastic graphical composition.
Greed result.

Hello Ourania,
Wow, what a great photo of the silhouette of this man and his shadow, seen very clearly outlined against the grey road, which makes a beautiful contrast with the much less clear lines of the shadows of the building too.

Hello Ourania
A great return to bl/w for this beauty.
In spite of the obvious heat the man looks really cool. The zigzag pattern on the right is very good, and I also really like how the silhouette of the man leaves some details visible (eg top of his head).
Top!

This is such an artistic and original photo. I love the Black & White. Great choice and great graphism. The image is beautifully balanced with the shadows on the left and the man and his shadow on the left. Your new camera is allowing you to experiment with ever more techniques and lightplay.

A strong and dynamic composition. Your tight framing and the high contrast bw produces a very graphic result, it has a sort of Depeche Mode attitude to it.
