37th Edition of the Show and Tell Photo Contest: Closed

[thejaybird]

Bill, thank you for hosting the last edition!

The new contest theme for this week is: Shadows

I'm a big fan of the film noir genre, so I'd especially like to see photos that incorporate shadows in a dramatic way--window blinds, selective shadowing, interplay of shadows, long shadows, etc. If you have any photos in which a shadow (or shadows) is an interesting element of the composition, please post.

When posting, please also include a link to your photo so it can be viewed at original size. Also, don't forget to read the posting rules below.

The competition will start from now and last through Monday, the 12th of February 2007.

On all the Washington Volcanoes I've been up, this occurs: you can see their shadow early in the morning... Fortunately on this particular morning the shadow of Mt. Adams rested on a cloud inversion, with Mt. St. Helens in the background in the early morning light.


The shadows of these "hoodoos" were a pleasant surprise.


This one might be off on the theme, but the very diffuse shadows the sun cups made on the snow were awesome. Take a closer look.
