Welcome to Weekly challenge #53.

Shoot a shadow (not a silhouette) made by anyone or anything in a creative, fun or abstract way.

Good luck everyone.

The rules are as always:

The rules:
1. Post ONE photo (max 800x800) as a response to THIS post.
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme. It can be colour or B&W, your choice.
3. You can offer as much or as little additional information as you wish, but I'd be interested to know the location/event/whatever being depicted.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.

One of my favorite "shadow" shots...

Very nice. Who won the praying mantis or the fly?

Thanks dws1117! She was enjoying the afternoon sun, and I happened to be in the right spot with the right focal length to capture the shot.

I think you should win this week's just for the adventure you had to go thru.

It does look like a couple of hands ET style...
Haha ! Thanks for your vote .,JC . ET's hand is another way of seeing it , I suppose . But I was thinking of the "web/claw " of Big Brother !

but the creature that lurks within the shadows

Alley at Night

I was walking along Citrus Ave. in Covina one evening and snapped my friend standing in an alley.

The Hair...

Another great topic and wonderful entries! I really enjoy shooting 'shadows' - lots of possibilities... I have many Schmikey shadow shots, but decided to go with this one... Kramer, Don King, Albert Einstien - whomever it is they have quite the head of hair!

A group us spent today at a local plantation (where painter Clementine Hunter was once a slave) and at author Kate Chopin's house. Old plantation building turned gift shop.
