AWESOME idea :-) I am looking forward to try this out.

Wow, this is a great idea!
A real challenge.

But who has actually won the challenge of April?
Or am I too premature, and too curious?
(LOL) :D

Warm greetings from Mies for everyone!.

Thanks Helle & Mies! It is going to be great fun!

Mies - It is not a competition, just a challenge - so no winner or losers!
In fact - everyone is a winner... just by joining in and challenging themselves by going out and maybe try a different genre of photography that they haven't tried before!

Looking forward to seeing your uploads for May!!

aksirp - a very neat self portrait!! I love it and it is perfect!

Helle - WOW - that golden light is superb!! Is the shsdow that of a statue? It is beautiful!

WOW - the bar has been set high by these first two entries!!! Let take up the challenge!!

Yes it is of a statue, Carin and thank you :-)

Thank you Carin, for your sweet answer.
That's what I like, just challenging ourselves, and have a goal to go for :-)
Sorry, i did not know 'the rules'.

And now : Great fun ~ great shadow!
Wow!!!

 
Wat a very stunning ones, Priscilla and Helle.  
So much fun to see, what's coming out from yourselves.  
Bye, Mies.

Priska, that is because we in the shadows can not see all the charm texture :-)))

Priska & Helle - I think ALL our shadows were a lot nicer 30 years ago!!!

Mies - you're welcome! Let's see "your" shadows!!!

Carin...I am in deep trouble...lol. I can not think of anything. I did some tea pot set with my flash to have a decent shadow but I did not liked it. I guess I have a 'blockout'...grr. I will try again next week.

seeya  T

LOL Tunde!!! I guess even the best of us get block-outs!!!
No problem - go get some inspiration!!!

Priska The shadow is of a statue of one of the big stone statues from Easter Islands. Sorry for the messy explanation

oh yes, the big stones of Easter island, is correct! do you have one of them in your saloon?
wats the rules of this game? is it over now? sorry i am a beginner..

LOL!   Yes, last time we were in Easter Island, I stole one for a souvenier 
No i just have a figure made of Plaster, I guess and painted green. I actually once began to make one myself of a gas concrete brick,but I didnt finish it.... maybe I should do that

Priska - I love the shadow of the branch against the wall! Superb catch! As fate would have it, it is cloudy here today, so I couldn't even go out and get a shot!

Oh - and each member is allowed three uploads!!

Holy Moly! We are off to a great start!  I have to look around. We have sun but the wind is blustery today... Can't wait to get in on this  one!

dear Meisekind, many thank for instructions!  3 uploads in receipt to the theme. The branche has shadow at the snow, not at a wall at allbut thank you anyway.. it is so fun with you all!!!
greetings pri

Oh wow Pri - I just had another look and now that you mention it I can see it is on snow!!! Even better and more special! We do not get snow here in South Africa, so I do appreciate winter images from up north!
I am so glad that you joined us in the fun!!!
Carin :)

Awesome snow shadow, Pri. :-)

How perfect is that?  And you took this today without knowing we had a Shadow Challenge going. Telepathy or what? :-)

Great idea for a challenge!  I've got a great one from a couple months ago.  Maybe later in the month, when everyone has run out of ideas, I'll sneak it in.  :P

Awesome backyard shadow B/W image, Flannelman.

ROFL Tara, You are such a clever lady :D

Oh, I love it, how excited everyone reacts.

That shadow is so big in the snow, Pri!

And that flower on the wood must be a beautiful flower, his shadow is certainly very great and nice to look at.

I follow my shadow, until ........he will arrives here ;-)
Mies.

cool shadow on wood, the plant is very clear! well done, love the b/w
pri

Flannelman - for some reason I cannot see your upload! I am however at work at the site is very slow!!! I will check back later - I am sure it is just something on my side!

Ahh - there we go, I knew it was just some gremlin!
Flannelman - wow - what a shot! I really like it and it works so perfectly in mono!

Tara, Mies - we are waiting for your posts!!

Where is Bill??? Last month he opened the floor???
Hehehe...

Flash! Dog cooperates for the monthly challenge:)

This pic is hot off the front driveway 30 minutes ago.

Aksirp (Pri), Helanker (Helle) and Flannelman...you've been my inspirations:-)

Here's me out front this afternoon enhanced with a watercolor filter.

Bill:)

No notification...so annoying and I miss all the great shadows. good stuff so far...

seeyus  T

Pri - Wonderful shadow in the snow! This time I got it right!!! Wonderful!!!

Bill - Welcome aboard!Mandy is a wonderful model... What a great pic of her and her shadow! And your shadow - wasn't that shot in the graveyard when you and Tara visited a while back?

You guys are inspiring me... If the sun would just shine... I could join you! LOL... We've had rain here for 2 weeks non-stop now!

Hi Pri,
'still snowing
and still growing,
your shadow
in Swl. now ':biggrin:

Oh Bill, you've upload such great ones.

Flannelman what a stunning one, :ohmy:

Yesterday I searched my old photo folders, but those shaded photo's I had removed, because I thought they failed. related to that shadow, :huh:

Oh, but it's just the 4e of May, so......there is still some waiting for you, watch your way : D
:lol: Mies.

Quote - ..there is still some waiting for you, watch your way : D

Can anyone tell me how these words are on a white background; this I have often noticed.
THX

Flannelman - what an incredible shot! WOW - I absolutely love it!!!
Well done!

Mies - sorry - I have no idea why!!!

hey bmac62, love your cute dog and his shadow going in front of him!
and flannelman, wat see your dog in the shadow with the other eye?
and Mies, thank you for the lovely poem.
We have bad wether, quiet difficult to find some shadow in ouer region, still waiting of your pic..

Carin...the shadow picture of me above is similar to the one in the Wshington graveyard but this is "fresh", coming from a shoot in my front yard yesterday. I guess you didn't see the difference between Kansas and Washington green grass and that I had changed my clothes! LOL

Helle - what a stunning image and yes, I can see that it was inspired by that great work of Flannelman! Bravo!!

Bill - LMAO!!!!! I am glad you have changed your clothes!!!! Hehehe... 

And no, the green, green grass of home all look the same to me!!!!
Awesome nonetheless!!!

I noticed Bill's change of clothes immediately!  LOL!  When we were in the graveyard, he was wearing long jeans and in the new shot from yesterday he's wearing shorts.

:D

With or without sandals??? 

Hmmmmm ... at the graveyard he was not wearing sandals, and I'm not in Kansas to see what he was wearing yesterday!  (Won't be there 'til Thursday.)  I bet if he just popped out to take a couple pictures though, he was wearing clogs.

Just a guess!  :)

Had to look the word "clogs" up.  Thanks
