Thanks for sharing this one, Charles. I like how the two shadows are joined by the diagonal at the bottom of the frame to form what looks like a fat bolt of lightning.

Good one, Chas.

Especially the 'aberrant' diagonal on the otherwise 'golden section' composition makes it less predictable, and thus interesting. But then you knew that as you composed it the way you did ...

Cheers,
Bart

Yes. I saw the "aberrant" diagonal as the element that made this rather mundane photo unusual.

Thanks
