# Light and shadow

Look for the brightest area of a photograph. Does it attract your eye because
it is bright, or because it makes something else easier to see?

<label>What do you notice?
<textarea aria-label="Light and shadow notes" rows="3" placeholder="Keep a thought here…"></textarea>
</label>
