Worker on ladder with shadow

Collaroy Beach

Sometimes you have to go back! While on my way to a friend's funeral, I noticed a painter up a ladder which cast a great shadow. As I could not stop at that moment, I returned a couple of days later at about the same time to find the ladder still in position. I waited until a worker climbed the ladder. And I got my shot.

Super shot!!!
Your introductory words to this picture are very nice and interesting.
Shadow casts may add simple yet powerful dimension in visual arts.
Here you may look at another shadow cast motif which luckily I had an opportunity to photograph:http://www.pbase.com/mbnm57/image/43553439

I'm a street shooter because I don't have that kind of patience. With that kind of patience youu could be a dynamite landscape photographer.

Great visual play. Really looks to me like a race to the top between the man and shadow. My money's on a tie! :)
