Light and Shadows... my weekly challenge

I had a chance to judge the weekly competition for the Rome Photo Club last week. I was judging the topic sunrise, but after choosing the winner, I got to pick the topic. I chose Light and Shadows. Why? Because, I love shots with high contrast. I enjoy light being part of the composition of the photos. Looking for light other than just the physical things in the photo gives you a new appreciation for the scene. I can't win this weeks contest, but I wanted to share some of my favorite photos that exhibit both light and shadows. Also, if you are interested in meeting other photographers in the Rome area, check out the club's public Facebook page.
