Our optional challenge this week at Photo Art Friday is for images featuring shadows and/or light. I wanted to play with shadows.
I hope you like what I came up with.
Tulips on my kitchen wall
A bike in town
A giraffe half way up my stairs!
And two from our Balloon ride last year. Both with a little photoshop magic waved over them.
Bonnies’ gallery is open this evening, (Thursday) there are sure to be some wonderful shadows and images with amazing light in, do visit if you have a moment, entrance is free…
It’s almost the weekend and we have heavy rain and gales forecast. I’ll just have to stay in a play then. Hope you can find some time just for you.
Love the shadow of the bikes. Here we are separated by an ocean and enduring the same weather. Icy rain and wind until early tomorrow. Yuck! I want spring!
I love this set Miriam – the first three show a lovely range of shadow is soft gryes, in black and in darker grey and then the 2 coloured ones are so energised. A giraffee on the stairs sounds a lovely idea
those are genius!!!
I had to stop and think looking at the 1st shot but now I see… – what a creative shot! all of them!
Yes, pretty pictures. I like the careful composition in all, it’s extraordinary!
All your interpretations are great and the tulips are fabulous!
And explain how the Giraffe was on your stairs??????
Oh, so many wonderful images that you shared! Each is special in their own way!
I absolutely love that first one Miriam, so soft. I hope you are enjoying some spring in the west? Hugs for Pepsi x
Miriam, I received your lovely postcard today from the Liberate Your Art Swap here in almost-always sunny Phoenix, AZ. Thank you. When I get all my postcards, I will post them with links on my blog. Hope yours arrive soon…
I love the first three – they’re so striking!

Some intriguing images and I like the contrast of hard and soft shadows but your tulips really would make the most marvellous wall art. I see a giant canvas!
I like all of your work but my favourite is the tulips. Love teh simplicity and softnes of it.
I was sad seeing Bonnie taking a break. But I understand her. If you still want to do some Abstracts till she is back you are welcome to join NF Abstract. I post on Wednesdays. http://nfmemes.blogspot.com/
a glorious array of deLIGHT & shadow, Miriam!! you have to know I LOVE the giraffe on your stairway… I really love the bicycle, too, there is something about it that made my little heart beat. I love seeing shadows but don’t often think to photograph them, yet your little show makes me think I MUST DO some more photo-taking.
I am so glad we will BE in touch during the hiatus. I enJOY your thoughts so much!!
enJOY!!
Many nice pictures
