Shadows: Front Steps

Notes:		I really like this one, but I am not exactly sure why. I think it's something about the strong contrasts from the late afternoon sunlight, the dried leaves on the ground suggesting autumn, and the low perspective on what seem to be inviting steps rather than the closed doors above them. I don't know - do you like this as much as I do?
