The Qualities of Light & Shadow. - a photo on Flickriver

            One of the most elemental qualities to light and shadow is harshness and softness. 

Lighting creates a visual mood in a photograph, and in photography, there are two main types of lighting: hard light and soft light. Hard light is a focused, often bright light that casts harsh shadows and draws attention to a specific part of a photo.
