Light, shadow and gradation

[Akira]

Just as the title says...

Akira, well seen and captured. I for one would be too blond to have even seen a photo here.
Having said that - I find a couple of things distracting - but those are my nits and I am sometimes just picky

Lovely combination of shape and colour movement.

[Akira]

Thanks, guys, for stopping by and commenting!

Elsa, I think I hear you, and would agree on some nit-picks.  However, the interesting light and shape were irresistible in this case. 

As you already sensed, the color temperture, hue, vibrance and saturation were tweaked to enhance the color casts of incandescent and fluorescent lightings.

Lovely photo Akira. Looks like a duck or swan

First I sqw the colors, then the shape, and finally the repeated shape  (in the shadow, top right and bottom left). Bottom line: an austere scene can make a good shot.

Jakov, thanks.  I like images that inspire different interpretations.

Airy, I'm a strong believer of the simplicity, although I sometimes enjoy complicated stuff, too.

Akira - yes I agree those  color temperture, hue, vibrance and saturation must be tweaked - and I can see many more possibilities just playing with those - but I like the ones you chose. I must admit that was the first thing I saw about the image - and liked.

Elsa, thanks again.  I like this this color coordination of lime green and orange.
