Got the camera out for the first time this year a couple of days ago & caught some interesting shadow & light compositions. Not sure which of these two I like the most.
Happy 2014 to everyone.

No.2 for me. They are both interesting, but you missed making the better No.3 which would have included the top area of No.1 too.

I agree.

Also no. 2. The complete triangle adds a lot to the picture. Also agree about the element at the top. I always see what I should have done when I am looking at my photos back at home.

Definitely #2, but I don't agree about including the top of #1; it's an unnecessary distraction.

That's what I've always maintained after losing most of my hair. It's never really convinced anyone, though, least of all myself.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
The 'better No 3' shot wasn't possible: If I'd moved further back I'd have caught a load of distracting elements in the sides & foreground of the shot. I think a tight crop would have made for a very long tall image format. If I'd moved in closer with a wider lens my shadow would have become part of the composition. I guess I could retry the shot with a tripod; take one image with the cast shadows, move the object casting the shadows ( a large trolley which is part of a hoist setup ) & do a second shot then combine the two in PS. ( I pass this scene most days ). Of course I won't do any of this. And it's a long time since I've had any hair...
I've attached a photoshop kludge of the images.
