  Tiny photo

  Can’t the photo be larger so as to show better?

  Photo

  It depends on what we are looking for. I downloaded the photo and imported it to lightroom. A carriage house or barn at the back of a house. Trees and shadows. A white object laying on the ground along with other wood pieces. Could be some staging set up on the side of the house.
  The window could use a good washing. Photo is very unclear between the shadow and dirty window. The white areas including the object on the ground are overexposed with little detail. I am not able to see into the shadow area using lightrooms shadow slider, dehaze etc. A dirty window. There could be some detail DFK-B has in mind but not sure. A vent of some kind on the barn could mean it is being lived in. A piece of clothing next to the window and a dead fly. The tree angle does not look correct. Like it is growing out of the foundation but there is no detail at it’s base. Maybe it is being removed.

  Photo Explained

  The photo shows the shadow of a tree, which in a photo taken earlier looked, not like a shadow, but like the actual tree. The photo I posted to ibrattleboro, shows the shadow on the left, and the actual tree on the right. Taken together, the tree looks 3 dimensional, compared with the shadow which in contrast is flat.

  I am thinking of it like Plato’s allegory of the people who see shadows of reality, but think they are seeing real life.
