More seriously, you have one point here John. My eyes have seen and recorded so many situations with light /shadow that possibly it's easy for me to see theses potential scenery. Of course you need some skill to get those. But once you get them (sun in the back, expose to the high light and wait for people to come from shade to light...), it's basically the same... What is missing IMO is soul. This technique should be used when needed. If the light is the only one protagonist, it doesn't work. As I said, I have hundreds of this kind of photos on my computer I will never share. What I'm looking for is to capture photos like these guys. Check their work. Really stunning. <a href="https://timhuynhphotography.com/" rel="nofollow">Tim Huynh</a> from Hawai, <a href="https://world-street.photography/en/30485602" rel="nofollow">Sam Rodgers</a> from London or <a href="http://youngjaelimphotostories.com/" rel="nofollow">Youngjae Lim</a> from NY. Their work are really inspiring. My eyes need to be trained to see anything else than Light & shadow. We'll see where it will take me ! ;)]]> In reply to John Harper.

Ah. After that, people might say that I’m pretentious dick head! ☺️. More seriously, you have one point here John.

I see a very good selection of images and they are all interesting; for example your shot of the girl with the dog and your shadow on the tree. You dismiss this shot and of course you can do this as you are the creator, but the viewers can and will see many different interpretations. I like it very much. Besides you’ve worked for it contrary to what you claim. You had to be there, see the potential photo, decide your position, frame it and use your technical knowledge to achieve the exposure, then you pressed the shutter release, afterwards you processed it…not what I’d call lazy at all.
