All of them seen before. 0002 is simple and pleasing. 2878 is my favorite. Spookey street scene.

Good series. #3 is intriguing.

I like these, especially #10 ... but I might boost the contrast just a ted in #10... give it a little more pop. Thanks for sharing.

Gary, thanks for commenting.  That makes sense.  But #10 is not just for the pattern of the shadow, but also for the slight glow of the reflection of the asphalt which gives warm feel to the image.  I did raised the contrast, but not too much.

Susanne, Frank, Peter and Bruno, thanks for dropping by and kind comments!

Yes, I will continue to add the images under the concept.  So, stay tuned!

Bruno, I put some high brightness white LED behind the objects for #2 and 3, so that they look as if they glow in the darkness.

Great series Akira! I especially like the ones shot in artificial light.

Lars, thanks for dropping by.  Plants and fruits are more translucent than one would imagine.  :)
