The discrete parts which you've identified play off each other
symbiotically. I suppose either the woman's face peering out from the
shadows, or the shadows cast on the wall in the back, might work
individually. But that isn't what I was after. I noticed the relationship
between the two and tried to capture them together in harmony. Of course
it was just a grab shot, but I kind of like the way it turned out. (It was
noted in the original posting that this picture was made at a concert,
which the woman was watching, the shadows on the wall falling from the
singer/guitarist at the mike on stage.)
Whether or not this "connection" between major elements is made depends on
the viewer . . . as with any photograph that requires connection of
elements. That was my reaction to it . . . others will react differently .
. . and a disagreement with the concept expressed by one of the remarks I
read that a photograph could exist with *no* subject whatsoever. Every
photograph has a subject; no matter how obscure or abstract.
