jpla from St Barthélémy d'Anjou, FranceLa technologie est au rendez-vous sur cette photo ! Bonne journée. 5 Oct 2009 5:28am rhys from United KingdomI like it- its the tree that sets off the composition and makes the frame gel together. 5 Oct 2009 5:29am Nina from Haute Loire, FranceOr when the shadows play with people! In autumn they lie down to play better with the forms, the presence of a person in the foreground give reality to the fairy world! 5 Oct 2009 5:33am Steve Rice from Olympia, United StatesA shadow world with a bit of substance added. What a marvelous composition! I love this one. 5 Oct 2009 5:34am Dulcie from Danville, CA, United StatesThese are dramatically angled shadows. Cool shot, and the quote from Buddha is pretty cool, too! :-) 5 Oct 2009 5:56am Mirko Herzner from GermanyAmazing shadow play.

This is no exception. It is like the two figures know each other but are separated by a sea of distance. Very poetic. 7 Oct 2009 12:53am Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United StatesHaha, I think the person infront of you is texting!
