My Shadow in the Light of Mckinley


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   My Shadow in the Light of Mckinley
My Shadow in the Light of Mckinley
On March 4, 1911, a special Act of Congress created the National Mckinley Memorial Association. The Association's purpose was to design and construct a structure to mark the birthplace of President William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States. The National McKinley Birthplace Memorial is the direct result of that effort.

  Great framing of the scene, Dan!! I must admit that my attention was directly drawn onto your shadow rather than the main subject...can it be corrected??

  I'd be amiss if I didn't offer a special thank you to Cindy P for the creative title!

Thanks everyone for the comments!

  BTW..Sanjay, while perhaps not being technically correct, I intentionally left the shadow in the image because I felt it gave the shot my personal touch. As for your question, yes it can be corrected, but I have enough different shots w/out the shadow, so I think i'll leave this one as is!

  THe shadow gives this a mysterious quality that I like. If I didn't "know" the photographer, I would be trying to figure that out. I like this creative touch!

  I love the shadow in there too, Donald! It is a nice human touch among all the artifice, and makes for a great self-portrait with the President!;-)

  Beautiful shot of a really wonderful and artistic place, but the icing on the cake is your shadow there among the pillars.
