reflecting on sitting and reflections

    Empty chairs waiting for the congregation in my son's Buddhist temple. Mid-morning sunlight through stained glass windows cast this reflection and created the shadows.

      As always a good shot. I like the brown colors, the shadows and the lightning on the chairs. Well seen, Dean!!!

      Fantastic background color and composition choice. I like that more than half of the image is dedicated to the shadows and color.

      Funny - yesterday I took a few pictures in our church after mass for a side project on lines and several were of different wooden chairs...sorry about the Seahawks...

      I'm mulling over your less blowout request...

      Thanks all! The temple, a former church, offers up some good photo opps. I'd love to do a portrait of the resident monk and teacher during a service but it's not allowed.

      Well seen detail -- that light is wonderful!

      I love the soft subtle color background. Great catch.

      I am beginning to strongly favor the Buddhists these days... we all need to reflect a lot more!

    21. dsevilla (77 months ago | reply)

      I like it. The minimalist feel and the soft brown tones are very good.

      A very good reflection...and your artist eye couldn't miss this beautiful composition...
      Light is amazing.

      Love the color and light, wonderful image!

    24. jon fobes (77 months ago | reply)

      Very Zen, indeed! Empty chairs, nothingness, the extinction of personality ... very philosophical, Dean!
