The Chair's Shadows

As we practice each day in this passion for photography we learn to place our “subjects of attraction” within the field of view of the lens we are using and with our unique vision. We can frame to eliminate objects that distract us from our subject of interest or we can include objects to give perspective and size to our image. In the above image the shadows are all that I included. They were what I my eyes focused on, so I moved in close to exclude “objects of distraction.” There is no identifiable tables and chairs to let the viewer know it was outside a coffee shop or if there were people nearby. It is our choice what we include and what we exclude.
