Sorry to say this, but there are only a few photos here that can be called abstract.

Some really good photos here but there also seems to be some confusion as to what a shadow is.

Yeah, silhouettes and reflections aren't really the same as shadows. Standard is very impressive, though!

@nezih: The theme for this contest was "shadows". The note up the top stating the theme of "abstract" was for the current contest

I agree with Sensu above, there does seem to be some confusion as to what constitutes a Shadow.
There are quite a few photographs here that are Silhouettes, abstracts and reflections, which to
me, don't really qualify.
Good luck to all the entrants

This competition isn't abstract; it's 'shadows'. (even thught a lot of photos entered don't feature shadows but silhouettes).
The abstract competition is the current competition, shadows competition is finished and this is where people vote for the winner

Снимать для фотобукваря - не проблема. Съемка собственной тени - фи, а уж монтаж в 21 веке - молчу.

Yeah, there were some fantastic photos that may have been better than my chosen few, but I couldn't/wouldn't vote for them because they weren't shadows.

I had the same reaction at first, that silhouettes are not shadows; the more I thought about it, however, they are shadows that are in perfect register, so to speak, as their source . . . like the dark side of the moon. I wandered over to Wikipedia, which called a two-dimensional silhouette a "cross section of a shadow." On the other hand, I don't think that reflections are shadows at least not in the literal sense, but maybe in a metaphorical sense? At any rate . . . I enjoyed the photographs and the thought exercise some of them produced!

Quite simple...if you don't think it fits the category, don't vote for it.

I have been puzzleing over this one? Its a fantastic shot! How was it done? Quote:

A brief calculation. The plane travelling at say 350MPH would leave a shadow (Shade with clear bounderies) on the face of the building
for an estimated (One half of one Millisecond) A fantastic shot.

I am not participating in this contest. After the first time I did, I decided not to do it anymore because the complex instructions to submit. However, I just voted for only ONE photo, the only one that deserves to be here. It is the only one different from all the others. That is the only one that it is in shadows, it has superb artistic conception. I know it will win.
I can see how some will promote their photos by trashing the others'
