22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Stockholm Shadow

This photograph was taken using Apple iPhone. This photo envisions views of Stockholm, the capital city of Sweden, from the Stockholm City Hall. While visiting this landmark, I marveled at how the architecture of the hall and how the distant city skyline interact with the presence of light or lack of light from underneath the archway I stood. The shapes that the sunlight and arches manifested created a unique composition that I felt was worth capturing. I decided to amplify these contrasting elements through post photo editing. I brought down the image saturation to emphasize the its juxtaposition of light and to emphasize the photo composition.
