Sun and Shade

A very interesting close-up, which you highly likely didn't take to demonstrate the difference between sun and shade! It's a perfect example, nonetheless. It's visually clear and not overloaded but with plenty of things to look at. What a wonderful entry.

We can all dream of the next holidays, when looking at this entry. You can feel the clear air and the stillness - beautiful. You managed to capture the sun/shade divide very well and clear, despite the main focus being on the perfect reflection. The symmetry in this image is amazing.

A wonderful image, full of atmosphere and emotion. The simplicity and minimalism is beautiful, the impact wholly down to the light, which is magical. I could look at this image for a very long time and feel drawn into the magic of this sparse landscape. Thank you so much for entering.

The perfect example for the contest's title and brief, in a minimalistic and simple style. This encapsulates everything I wanted to see when I wrote the brief,. The sharp difference between sun and shade is absolutely clear and highly visible, with nothing to distract the eye. Congratulations, you are my worthy winner.

Looking at this photo, you can almost feel the heat of a hot summer day. Although there are no people in the image, they surely would all try and stay in the shady areas - out of the glaring sunlight. It seems to be a very old, historical building, a church or a castle? Lovely.
