Mike Finn Mike Finn: “An encounter with a young kestrel in Portugal.” Jane Lütkens Jane Luetkens: “My father gave me this Indonesian shadow puppet over 50 years ago. Recently, I was struck by its colorful and detailed decoration.” Maryleth Vigneault Marylise Vigneau: “On a rooftop, a group of young girls played with their shadows [in Havana, Cuba]. In the background, black smoke from a nearby power station can be seen. The oldest is 14, but they all already dream of leaving the island. In the coming years, it will be crucial to convince young people to stay and contribute to Cuba’s future. Deborah O’Donoghue Deborah O’Donoghue: “Shadows of the Pilgrims of Santiago.” Verna Evans Verna Evans: “As I walked down the stairs of a bridge, my shadow seemed to be climbing up to greet me.” Neil Marsden Neil Marsden: “She’s right behind you! On Hastings Pier, this mysterious figure is stalking her next unsuspecting victim.” Andrew Orton Andrew Aughton: “Ten years ago my nine-year-old daughter Esther left her shadow in the sunset on Arnside Beach.” Oona White Oona White: “When a friend and I were walking in Ashridge Woods, we noticed these delightful shadow patterns of leaves on the tree trunks and thought they would make a lovely photo. I processed this as Black and white, hoping to emphasize the simplicity of the composition, but also to try to give more definition to the lines on the leaves and bark. “ Louise Moon Louise Moon: “One sunny day I noticed that the laundry basket cast interesting shadows.” Michael Gall Michael Gal: “While eating breakfast in the strong early morning sunshine of Sydney, I noticed the distinct shadow formation. I chose several kitchen utensils to create a dramatic effect and this was one of them.” Hassan Bagheri Hassan Bagheri: “The undulating facade of this performing arts center in Providence, Rhode Island creates patterns of light and shadow that are reminiscent of the music played within the building.” Evelyn Oakley Evelyn Oakley: “Morning shadows of desert flowers in Coral Pink Dunes State Park, Utah.” Will Herbert Will Herbert: “Damselflies rest on sunny days, casting shadows on the leaves below.” Andreas Pantelides Andreas Pantelides: “This photo, titled The Great God Pan, was inspired by the folklore of our landscape and Arthur Machen’s short story of the same name.” Renata Gucciola Renata Gusciora: “I am forever fascinated by the play of light and shadow in the jungle. No matter how many times I walk the same path, the dance of light and shadow makes me stop and capture a fleeting moment.” Karen Firth Karen Faiers: “So big, yet so small. Flying home after four years, Christchurch Airport, New Zealand.” Paul Wilkinson Paul Wilkinson: “The shadows of people and dogs are captured on the promenade wall at sunset on the Isle of Wight.” Source link
