I was walking down the street today and noticed the wonderful shadows of the trees on the sidewalk. I couldn't quite figure out how to capture something interesting, though.
Here are the two shots I did take without any editing, just resized for uploading. I tried to add some interest by holding up my hand in one and by timing a pedestrian to be in the upper right corner in the other.
Is there anything interesting to be done with them? Feel free to edit it yourself if you see fit.
I'm looking for ideas on how to take advantage of situations like this in the future. I have zero emotional attachment to these shots as they are, so be honest. :)

I think the first one is more intersting with the hand up, but the second angle is a bit nicer. You could crop in on this, and make it mroe dramatic, if you care about these pics, if you are simply trying to think about the future, take the picture with the camera twisted a bit, so you are more angled in the frame. It will bring more movement and emotion to the photo.

You could always take the first one and
get a little rough & edgy with it.

"The last thing I remember before losing consciousness was a man looming above me shouting and waving for help."
I love charcoal & chalk. It can do crazy things with perspective. :) |

This type of image is a study in light and shadow. Here are some things you might consider...
1-Don't include yourself in the frame. Look for shadows unique for shape and/or perspective.
2-Crop out any unintereting or distracting details like the grass on the first image and the person walking on the second.
3-Make the image true B&W (NOT toned).
