great photos from my contacts / 28-07-2007: tschnitzlein - subterranean light

a (almost) black and white scene of a roofed place - the place itself is paved, a stripe of grids and a rough wall close it to the left - the ceiling is broken up on the left side and there are diagonal rays of light reaching from the apertures to the grids - a couple is walking on the pavement, well contrasted to the bright entry of the paved place - i'm sure that i have seen a similar scenery quite often, but i never bothered to take a photo of it - fortunately the photographer has a better eye and saw the potential of this - the contrasts are impressive, the composition of the dark and lit parts of the picture is simply ingenious - i just love the diagonal rays of light and the silhouettes of the couple - this is a wonderful image
