That's a good question, does a silhouette qualify as a shadow?


Technically no. It's not really a shadow, it's an object that has no light shining on it. A shadow is caused by light shining off something and reflecting on the ground, so i can't say i'd agree on silhouette photos as an entry.

If it was created by light & shadows why not. Now don't go everyone and post silhouettes though!

Well like I said if it isnt a valid entry I do have 'real' shadow pics and can easily put something else up

I see dead people. Looks like a shadow to me.

Unfortunately, I no longer have a camera. So, I can't take pictures of my new surroundings, but here is one I took previously:

Even before i click on that link jflynn, i actually like your shot alot. Often with darker shots though the photo will look less impressive than it actually is. I haven't seen your larger picture yet but already i can see the needles on the tree will be a bit more detailed than they currently are which is good.

The colours in this photo are also very nice too.
