Patterns on the Walk

Walking near the Platte River one morning I noticed the shadow being cast on the sidewalk since the sun was perpendicular to the walk. As the shadow went off into the distance I used an aperture to let the shadow slowly go out of focus as it went into the distance and off of the frame. Recently I was looking at this image and converted it to black and white to provide more attention to the shadow versus the grass at the edge of the frame.
