    Shadows on buildings help the viewer “see” the environment around the subject. It’s something I need to consider incorporating in cityscapes. Nice capture, Chris!

      Thanks John, it indeed helps, but over here we build close together. So you always have this effect here. With big skyscrapers it can be more difficult maybe. Thanks for your warm words and tips!
