Summer

Took grandson to a park with lots of fountains. While he splashed, I played.

I really like the composition including the chair and its shadow to explain how the patterns are created. However, I do wish the shadow tones didn't have such a strong blue cast.

Thanks for the comment! The blue cast was reality but I could have toned it down, Next time...

Were the blue tones created by sunlight shining through translucent tabletops? If not, I can't understand how the shadow tones would display such a strong blue cast when the tiles in bright sunshine don't.

I liked your idea to gather some asymmetric portions of a symmetric pattern; is the big part of design a shadow or pattern on the floor?

The table itself was a strong blue so I suspect the bright sunlight reflected a bit of that blue down onto the shadow.

It is the shadow of the table. Thanks for looking

If you did a bit of research, you will find that blue shadows is not really rare because of the atmosphere. It can be corrected by using a a UV filter. One of my lens is permanently connected to a UV filter.

I ultimately decided not to correct it because this was really what I saw. I am familiar with the issue of blue in the shadows that is caused by atmospheric effects. I think this photo's issue is really one of personal preference. To reflect the real situation or to "normalize" it. Always a personal choice!

I quite like it. I do agree with Mike, however, regarding the blue cast. That is a personal opinion though.

If this was mine, I would desaturate or convert it to monochrome. I would probably convert it because of the increased control that process provides.
