Wonderful use of light and shadow Grant. Every shade between pure white and absolute black.

Another fine piece of work with that amazing mellow sunlight, the foreground of the garage is exactly hi-lighted by the sun. Cool work Grant.

I have to say- this is a very clean looking garage. The down spouts are straight, paint looks fresh, and a pair of nice garage doors. Cool shot Grant.

@Howard F.: it's better cared for than mine :-)

What ornate windows it has for a garage or is that not uncommon there? it's definitely uncommon here. It looks so clean too and yet the pavement looks less than pristine. Funny how that overhead wire looks like it vanishes on the right side then reappears .

@lisa v: i'm guessing those are just plastic inserts made to give the appearance of window panes.

A really strong shot, and as usual good compositional use of shadows from "outside" the frame whether you want to claim credit or not :)

Had to smile at your title - you detached the garage with the shadow from the rest of the scene. And of course the wires swooping in are terrific and your signature white among the darks. Strong image...

An interesting design in these garage doors. It made a fine subject and needed a nice, wide range of tones from black to white... which you did very well.

Exceptional lines and shadows in this image. The sunlight has really been working in your favor in the last several images. Love those power lines again the sky.

I have to wonder where the shadow on the door comes from. As always, I really like your view, the way you captures the lines and the moods you create.

Mellow --used by one of the previous commenters-- is a good term.

You certainly make good use of your beloved Tmax, here. Beautiful geometry and tone.
