My Shadow in the Light of Mckinley [Contest Finalists May 2005]
Uploaded: May 03, 2005 01:55:37
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 composition, Donald. #1313869S J May 03, 2005
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?? #1313889Donald K. Cherry May 03, 2005
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! #1313947

Beautiful shot, Don! #1313985Donald K. Cherry May 03, 2005
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! #1313986Judy S. Fung May 03, 2005
Wonderful composition and shot, Donald!! #1314008S J May 03, 2005
Sorry about the typing error, Don!! And many thanks for all the explanation about this shot. I'll now look forward to the upcoming shots of this series!! #1314013Dolores Neilson May 03, 2005
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! #1314078Cathy Gregor May 03, 2005
