Member Photo Share Theme: Shadows

Shadows are a pictorial element of many scenes. They may compliment or focus attention on the principal subject of a photograph, or they may be a problem to be solved by photographic technique or post processing skills. Sometimes the shadow is the reason for the photograph. Collect two of your photos where shadows are important to the final image. Send your Photo Share images to Jerry Sargent at photos@jerrysargent.com.
