I briefly noted the cobwebs (Halloween decorations I assume, unless you live near the Addams family), but for me this is all about the shadows of the trees on the sidewalk, which form a kind of web that's involved in an intricate dance with the light. Wonderful urban scene & composition...

I love your city scenes and this one is so typical of what you see. I thought it should be Halloween too, but then I thought, why haven't the trees started turning yet? At any rate, yup--another great shot!!

There is so much beauty in everything if you just look ;)

I feel I am there in that very moment you took this wonderful shot of one of your beautiful streets of Chicago. I saw it before in private, but I am still in awe, when I see it again. The light, the wonderful trees, that builds a shelter of colors and the beautiful shadows on the pavement.

You live in a lovely district, Mark, and this photo is spectacular.

Lovely street scene, Mark. Great tree shadows on the sidewalk. Wonderful lighting, too.

I like how our eyes are drawn towards the figures in the distance; a person with their dog (I hope it's a dog). The bright sunlight poking its way though the leaves of the trees, leaving shadows on the sidewalk. Gossamer webs decorate the fences as we walk down the street while the fallen leaves decorate the little green plots to our left.
this is a great photo with some stories that cry out, asking to be told.

Nice contrast, Mark. Must have been around the halloween season. I think I've seen a similar shot in past. You live in a nice area.

I never knew spiderman paid a visit to chicago my friend this is a fantastic shot super light and a lot of superb details well done Mark!!

Chicago streets are so cool

Yeah. I absolutely love shots like this that pull you right into the scene. I can feel the fall breeze (I'm assuming it's fall by the leaves on the ground, and especially the web decorations on the fence for Halloween, I surmise). The light coming through the trees just makes this glow... A spectacular shot, Mark!,

LUV the little sun sparkle coming though the trees Mark. Such a peaceful looking street. Very well captured.

You achieved such wonderful depth in this image Mark. I feel like I am walking next to you. The trees are shiny and yummy green and the sunlight caught on probably a parked car making that little star is superb and adds a flair to your image! Most wonderful.

Outstanding depth, lighting and contrast shadow work, Mark. And as for needed support, I wonder if you would keep posting if you received the barely survivable paltry support I get.

excellent

Love this shot! I really like the way your perspective point is almost dead center of the image. How did you manage to completely clear the sidewalk of all living things before taking the shot. Hhowever, It does appear that a very slim and long legged witch, complete with pointed hat is casting a shadow on the sidewalk. Were you mindful of that when you snapped this photo?
