If one applies the "Art of Observation?" The scene becomes a B&W powerhouse. I bet if one looks at this area as a "base photo area to work over?" You could come away with several interesting photos? Many actually! And as the sun created new shadows you could spend more than an hour or two snapping and coming away with a most interesting photo series from one location. The building in the background has obviously more interesting looking shadows. Various compositions of shadows and gazebo. If one just let their mind's eye roll freely over the scene as a who, what is here of images while dissecting the area? I believe you could come away with some absolutely magical photos. All in B&W of course. :-) Well done on this photo as a starter. So may I be so bold as to suggest? Go back and milk the scene for all it's worth and possibly at varying times of day and sunshine for different effects within the shadows and stuff! I believe with your talents to see visual moments you'll create a most interesting photo series rather than just one photo! cheers, ted :-)
