Shadows of a Tree in a Modern City Courtyard (Black & White)

A black-and-white photograph of a solitary tree in a modern city courtyard. The scene features stark, high-contrast lighting with long, crisp shadows of the branches sprawling across a geometric mosaic of concrete pavers and polished stone. Surrounding architecture is minimalist: glass façades, steel frames, clean lines, and low-profile benches. The tree’s textured bark and sparse leaves catch the light, while reflections in the glass add depth. Shoot with a 35mm lens from a low angle, with the tree and its shadows in sharp focus and the background slightly softened. Subtle film grain and a wide aspect ratio enhance the sense of space and quiet urban serenity, all in bold monochrome.
