Mini Challenge #207 - Shadows - Results

Cavalier

I have come to believe that the real Challenge in the Mini Challenge series is having to select the top three images from the outstanding entries submitted. Once again, this theory holds true - a lot of great photos were submitted for the Shadows challenge making my job last night particularly difficult! But here goes:

Honorable Mention:

Eucalyptus by Eric (Earache) - this reminds me of a delicate Japanese silk painting. Beautifully done.

Street Lamp - Paris Cinema by Don (DonRicklin) - I love the way the lamp post is framed against the building.

Jumping Shadows by Joyce (JAG) - I know, I know...not for entry. But I love this one!



Top Three:

Third place = Fence by Tatiana (Travelways). Lovely composition Tatiana.

Second place = Lizard by Gatto. Great clarity and a different look at a shadow.

First place = Haunted Highway by Phil (Roaddog52). The perfect solution to the challenge. Shadows telling a story with such an artistic bent. I can almost hear the rumble of the old truck's engine. Great job Phil!

OK, Phil. Your turn to start a new challenge. :barb

Great round and thanks for the honorable mention anyway. I am glad people enjoyed that image as it was a fun day of shooting shadows!
Congratulations to all who participate and especially those who placed. Wonderful image for first place!



I am looking forward to see what Phil can come up with.

I am honored to have been selected as the winner when there were so many great images. Several really caught my eye, in no particular order, Yin and Yang, lizard, pigtails, the jumping shadow and day of the dead.

I am going to have to pass the honor of choosing the next challenge along to Gatto, I am currently traveling for the next few weeks and have a dead laptop, and only a phone to get online with.

Sorry your computer is caput, Phil. I have PM'd Gatto about doing the next challenge. Have a good trip.

JAG

If we do not hear anything from Gatto today we will move on to the next runner-up which will be Tatiana (travelways).

Cavalier

I was just looking at when I pm'd Gatto to consider proposing that we should move on tomorrow............strange minds run in the same strange way!
