 They see only their own shadows or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave - Plato

Normal size chair, the skirting board is large, the lens was at the 24mm end and I was standing up on a chair.

I like the use of shadows and light in this one.

Ah yes. The pull of light to a photographer. We see it in the oddest of places sometimes. And we like to share. :-) Well seen!

For some reason I could see it as a small chair in a big room. Great light

Hm. That's either a very small chair or a very big baseboard. The light is superb.

Plato's Cave! Ah, you've won me over with this shot, and the description. The philosophy major in me is smiling. :) Lighting is beautiful.

Stop sneaking in all this culture bullshit, OK? We have a name for your kind here: 'thinkers'. So just quit it right now, or you'll be sent to the naughty corner, just like e301 and ergo, et alia.

P.S. It's like a really really kooooool pic, dude! (and that's how we like it)

Amazing how creative side challenges can be...not stifled by the restrictions of shooting a subject to match a theme for a virtual ribbon. Simple, elegant, raw image well processed. We often don't see the wood for the trees...
