I had never heard the term "contemplative photography", but after googling it and seeing some images...yes, I like it very much. Ya learn something every day. Thanks!
In your photo, I like the lines formed by the shadows, as well as the colors of the bricks, posts, and fire hydrant. However, the individual elements seem too spaced out or something to me. In my mind, I keep wanting to make it a more compact composition. I'll be darned if I can figure out exactly how to do that right now, though. lol
