January 16 - The Young And The Ancient

First things first. Good morning Emily! Here's hoping you have a good day today :-)

I made this image today when I went into Seville to put up posters in the university to advertise our student group. It's a nice image (lighting, composition etc) but it poses some problems for me. You see I'm not really sure what it says (hence the lame title!). It's a photo of a student walking through some centuries old doors but... If this image means something to you, evokes some feeling or thought, please comment, I'd like to know your thoughts.

It has depth, light and shadow play and human interest. Also it is a very good bw. v.

I think titles are over rated. If someone sees something in your image they don't need your input to sway them in a direction.

I like this image because it envokes space and depth. The person could be young or old to me but their presence creates a usefullness in this long space. I hope this makes sense to you. It's a very good image.

Nicely exposed.

excellent composition with very nice light spilling through the archway
the student walking through gives it a nice touch and serves to cut down some of the brightness in the background
I like the image.
