I like your cast on Monochrome Leaves and Shadow Alan brings out all the character .n this subject, I often get canned for using shadow in my subjects but this one should make most stop and take note.

Fantastic image! I can't recall how I made it to the UK forum, but I'm glad I saw this one. Post it on ESS, Alan. I love the contrasting shapes/patterns and interplay of light/shadow.

Hi Alan,

A well seen and presented shot.

I'm a bit baffled how Marc managed to end up in this forum too :wink:! ESS is short for 'Earth, Sea and Sky' - one of the 'main' NPN forums - and which can be found in the drop-down list of forums at the top right of this page.

Hi Alan,

Beautiful shot and nice to see something different - love the way its almost like one of those b+w optical illusions where you either look at the shadows or the leaves with each one seeming to be the image...
