I took this photograph of the shadow of a tree at the weekend in the soft warm afternoon light. I’d been looking for a nice crisp tree shadow for a little while. It is remiss of me once again to be unable to name the tree. I focused on the artistic aspect rather than the scientific for this image.

Nice combination of the shadow with the fallen leaves.

Thank you eremophila. Yes – I was pleased that the fallen leaves had been left intact in this otherwise orderly well-kempt place

Thank you Northern Narratives – and thanks so much for your visit

Yes, very nice shadow. I do wonder what type of tree it is. I’m intrigued.

Thanks Fergie. I’ll probably go back to have a proper look at the tree and leaves and will update

Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound, I love the way there are actually falling leaves on the shadow’s branches.

Thank you bardess. Yes – the leaves were just in the right place for the shot

The green is so lush and the shadow makes it so dramatic…

Thank you Savira! Yes the shadow on the bright grass came out quite strong – and nice and long!

Thank you Sheila!

Great shadow, another effect of the unusually bright sunshine at this time of year.
October 19, 2011 at 6:30 pm
Thanks Hallysann. Yes – in a way, this could be a summer shot as it’s so bright and the contrast is so strong. The long shadows of Autumn are fun

Nice composition. it would be interesting to see a black&white version.

Thank you elmediat! I did a B&W version but it wasn’t as strong. Maybe I needed to spend a bit more time on it.

Beautiful! I love photos of nature and judging from your posts, it is an inspiration to you, too
October 20, 2011 at 10:01 pm
Thank you LOL! Oh yes, connecting with Nature is SO important to me and it has been wonderful to have the time this year to get out and about with the camera to look at and understand Nature a little bit better. Many thanks for your visit
