Project Black: Take 1
Anna is hosting another color project. I LOVE color projects.
I had a hard time with Project Blue, but I did have fun.
As is “tradition” with me I’m using a previously-used photo first. I’ll be on the lookout for “new black” (brown? kidding!) over the next several days.
Summaries of my Project Black entries on which you can click to see the photo are here.

Wonderful photo! I love photos with shadows too. Fun project black shot.

Thanks, Raven. I didn’t take the photo with Project Black in mind (it didn’t exist when I took it), but I did take it with the intent to crop it this way. I’m glad it worked out. :)

I love this one, the black and white, the shadow and that you captured just the legs and feet.

I like the stillness of this shot and yet I know it must be moving judging from the pants movements

Lissa, it is an interesting combination of stillness and movement. I hadn’t thought of it that way before. Thanks! :)

Excellent shot… everything… the shadow, the movement, even the lines in the pants and the road… just terrific! I would probably crop out the cup on top and it would be absolutely perfect.
JC’s last blog post..Project Black: to the dark side…
ACK! I’d meant to go back and crop out the cup. Darn it all! (And thank you for reminding me. So, now I must decide if I should do it now or wait. Hmmm…)
Thanks so much for the compliments. :) I love this one, too.
Edited at 9:41 p.m.: JC, I couldn’t stand it and recropped the photo. :)

I guess you went back and cropped out the cup, cause I only see perfect!
June, I did crop out the cup. It was VERY small at the top. I’d meant to crop it out to begin with, but then I couldn’t stand it. :)
