Can you tell I’m having fun revisiting my San Miguel trip in 2006? Sometimes its not necessary to include the actual subject. In the case of the lead image, I excluded it and photographed just the shadow. I like the simple graphic created by the color and shadow. In the image below, I included both the lamp and shadow. And much like the recent discussion about what to include and not include, I decided to include just a bit of the door and feature the lamp and shadow.

She is right there…
Love the composition with the door in it. Another post that gives inspiration- thanks John!
The tone of the shadow on the second images almost makes it look like it is a pattern that has been painted on the wall.
John, Love all your San Miguel re-visits. It is a lovely area and so fabulous for photography.
I also prefer the ‘implied’ subject from shadows, too. This is beautiful.
Thanks for all of your kind comments.
