The shadowfall is amazing detailed, the combination of colors brings a lot of contrast

You look so much taller in yesterday's shot! Somehow I just knew you'd only reveal your shadowy side ...

I like this - funky treatment, and there's something ominous about the larger shadow on the railing in the foreground.

Generally I love shadow-themed photos! I have a self-portrait(shadow) on the green grass background and I just love it!
Shadows are life to me. We are all in The Cave!
Nice shot and nice to meet you :)

Ah, yes, yes, congrats on taking a different line . . we like making the effort to fill in the gaps, making the assumptions! Clever stuff.

Kingfish from Menlo Park, United States

Nice - I really like the shadow effect. Nice lines, with the arc in the shadow makes for a nice composition. The shot of the shadow reminds me of the photographer Lee Friedlaner. I saw his work at SF MOMA recently. Great to meet you!

HELLO DANTHRO!!! :D I just LOVE your shadow shots!!! And this shot is TRULY SPECTACULAR!!! Such detail and contrast -- AMAZING and simply CAPTIVATING!!! It takes a second before the eye even comes to rest on the human shaped shadow!!! All i see at first are DYNAMIC shapes and MOVEMENT and grainy DETAIL of the asphalt -- FAAABULOUS!!! A big heartfelt THANK YOU for participating not only yesterday -- but ALSO today too!! An EXCELLENT submission by any means!!! Cheers to you mate and BRAVO!!! :D
