Late afternon in Matera, back to our hotel in the sassi. Time to relax and take a few shots around the place. Wait a minute! What is this shadow doing above the lamp??? I'm sure you can find the answer, and it does not involve PP! My brain teaser for the day!

PP Notes:
- Slight crop;
- Curves adjustment;
- Re-sized for TL.

Enjoy!

I will be away for a few days. Will catch up with you later on...

Le genre de chef d'oeuvre que j'affectionne particulièrement. Bonne composition, belle observation et ce ton chaud, bravo !

Salut Pierre!
A nice shot! It really has that sense of movement in it, like a little dance! This is very well seen and composed, I like the light in here a lot!
Greetings

Belle prise Pierre. Excellente utilisation de la lumière. Belle couleurs chaudes.
Bonne composition.
Réal

Looks like a sun clock ;))
Very nice image Pierre, warm tones and nice teaser indeed.
Lovely textures too!

Goor work, well seen!

take care, Stef :))

Superbe image graphique, Pierre, avec un très bon rendu de la lampe et de son ombre. La lumière est également magnifique sur la pierre. Bravo !
Martine

I like the different shades of black in the lamp and shadow Pierre. These colours look great against the yellow / brown wall - very effective.

Hi Pierre

I can see a resemblance to a stooped dancer. Good use of shadows. Congratulations!

Beau lampadaire qui ne semble pas dater d'hier tout de même! C'est très bien trouvé! Bravo! J'en aime la simplicité et la manière dont c'est bien rendu avec son ombre.

Great shot and good eye, Pierre!
Very nice compo and colours.
Ciao

Hi Pierre, wonderful image.
a great shadow, with a beautiful background and good light and focus.
thanks, ciao

Reminds me of Suzanne's "Colours of Rome (I)". I like your brain teaser. It sort of turns our idea of the lamp "upside down":-)

Great shot.
It cost to know to me as it is the shadow. Regards.

Nice picture, Pierre.
Great balance.
Good texture of the wall.
I tried to get the the answer without reading the other revieuws, but can't figure it out.
Help me!!!
Groet,
Joop.

Beautiful play with shades Pierre...I made almost the same picture but didn't posted jet here in TL...my compliments.

Jos

GReat shadow play Pierre. The tension across the composition is excellent.

You turned it upside down, I presume ? I love the soft beige/brown hues here, Pierre... a simple image, but a beautiful one. TFS.

Salut Pierre,
Excellente composition avec ce jeux d'ombre et de lumière. Les couleurs de fin d'après-midi sont très chaude et j'aime bien. Merci du partage.
Luc

I'm not fully awake and conscious yet for a brain teaser this early in the day. Ha. Ha. Great shot Pierre, and of course, great shadow. Nicely spotted.

Nice trick and photo play here Pierre! I like it a lot.

Andre'

Very nice light and shadow play. Well composed and lit.
Bravo!
Vassilis

No, it's a shadow BELOW the lamp! :)))
Great observation, looks really like some tech lamp on the desk. Very good observation with excellent composition, this is really good wor, congratulations!
Regards,
Robert

Avec l'ombre ça fait un effet 3 dimensions.
Bien vue!

Very cleverly seen and taken Pierre. Perfect shot :)
Elif

A great shot and very interesting - it definetly needs a couple of scans to figure out. But the impact is there, the old wall and contrasty shadows and very striking. Good catch Pierre, and very nicely done.
Sam

The photo is just nice to see. But the question I asked my self why. The shadow play of the lantern shows the time of the clock. On that time we see nice warm light and gentile shadows. I like it very much.
Ruud

Wonderful play of light. Amazingly well seen. Bravo on this masterpiece Pierre! Bravo!

Very nice pov and I like the shadow on the wall. The light is coming from right front and gives the shadow at the right and than we can see the whole lamp.
