Shadows and Lines
Weekly Challenge #145: Simplicity

Weekly Challenge: Simplicity "There is a core element of great photography known as simplicity. Please beware of simplicity's alter ego—vagueness. More or less I agree that less is more. Be careful because sometimes less is—less. Simplify your photography. Stop, however, before you remove those supplemental visual elements that can complement the center of interest/subject."

"Find a visually interesting subject, then work the foreground, middle ground and background to generate a complimentary balance based on the color, form or mood suggested by the original subject. This approach builds by adding to the subject and can introduce a great deal of personal expression into your picture taking."

Simply elegant. I like how the curves contrast with the straight lines and echo each other.
Stunning!
