Shadow Hunters Community Contest SMASh - Round 448
Shortly after noon today, after attending Mass, I headed to a small shopping center located near the church, where I often go to shop at the bakery there; plus, unlike other places, parking is free.
After buying what I needed at the bakery, I stepped outside to check out the food court, which has tables and chairs for diners both inside and out in the open.
Taking advantage of the bright sunshine, I took some photos of the outdoor seating area, which, as expected, was empty.
As I have described before, I usually make use of the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed, in order to improve or highlight some element of my images.

Concurso de la Comunidad de Cazadores de Sombras SMASh - Ronda 448
Poco después del mediodía de hoy, luego de asistir a misa, me dirigí a un pequeño centro comercial ubicado de la iglesia, y al cual acostumbro ir con alguna frecuencia a comprar en la panadería que se encuentra allí, además, el estacionamiento a diferencia de otros lugares, es gratuito.
Luego de comprar lo que necesitaba en la panadería, me asomé a la parte exterior donde se encuentra una feria de comida que posee mesas y sillas para los comensales, tanto adentro del lugar como afuera a la intemperie.
Aprovechando el intenso sol, tomé algunas fotos del área de las mesas ubicadas en la parte de afuera, las cuales, como era de suponer, se encontraban vacías.
Como he descrito anteriormente, usualmente hago uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed, con el objetivo de mejorar o destacar algún elemento de mis imágenes.

All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.

Muy increíble el parque con las sombras
Gracias!
Great entry, @manuelgil64 The contrast between the bright sunlight and the deep shadows fits the contest theme perfectly. Empty chairs always make for interesting compositions because they invite the viewer to imagine who might be sitting there.
Using Picsart and Snapseed to enhance those shadow details was a smart move — it brings out the texture without making the image look over-processed. Natural light plus subtle editing is a winning combo.
Hope you do well in Round 448!
