At the bend in the road.

What's not to like here, Russ?

It's all about contrast in so many senses of the word, but it also flows in multiple ways, too.  Another lesson in composition.

Thanks all. I shot this more than a month ago on July 7th, and every time I'd roll through my recent pictures with Bridge's Filmstrip, I'd stop. It was grabbing me, but it wasn't something I wanted to post — until it struck me that what was grabbing me was the graphics, and that B&W would emphasize the graphics without the distraction of color. It's hard for me to believe I've become this disconnected from graphic impact after all those years shooting B&W on the street, where graphic impact was primary. I love digital, but Rob, that's one valid strike on its downside.
