Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #57 'Dark Alley'

The name of this art photograph is: 'Dark Alley'

This place is lit only during this very time of the day - noonish. The alley is positioned from north to south, also too narrow to let the sunshine in before or after a short period of time. I caught the exact moment. Nonetheless, even with the sunshine, the walls remain almost dark, while the cobblestone stairs reflect strong light back at us, and, apart from creating the contrast, brighten up the overall atmosphere.

The main composition element is, of course, the rays, shining down upon the alley and constructing a linear semi-circular form that fills up the larger part of the top half of the image. The rays are orange with a bit of magenta, and they bring forth main magic of this photograph. Scarce magenta areas to the left and in the bottom smoothly balance the entire colour scheme, especially the green tones.

Also, notice the plant, positioned a touch to the left from the centre, breathing life into the alley. Imagine how bare and architectural everything would look without it. The mutually crossed old handrail fitted to the stone window frame and the roof water drain is a wanted addition.

Enjoy!
