A complex interplay of curved forms creates the structure of the image. Although it is  clearly based on objects, in this case outdoor metal tables against a paved ground, the  importance of the image lies in its’ abstract qualities and the contrast between strong, solid  colour and translucent shadows cast on the mottled paving stones. The composition is  thoughtfully controlled with delightful incidents such as the hollow circle of the table structure  resting in the centre of the cast shadow and flow of the curved shapes leading the eye around  the picture.
