i don't get it. i don't see any rain or shadows, and there's usually not any big green trees in the desert. but i'm not going to judge your photo on a bad title, so i digress. the white circular thing at the bottom is distracting, and i really fail to see how this fits the challenge.
I don't get it. Were you going for the shadows between the leaves? Don't understand your title either. I must be having a bad day. Photo 8 Creativity (see above)??? Shadows 2 total 5 (I bumped you up one, hoping that it must be me and this is better than I can figure out.)
Shadows are a part of this picture, yes. Getting closer and doing something close-up/abstract may have made them more prominent. I don't know for sure. Would it have been possible to crop the chair (?) out of the bottom?
I can't figure out how this relates to the challenge. I only see 1.5 unremarkable shadows/shaded areas on the underside of the limbs. In general, more focus, a little lighter and crop out whatever's sticking up from the bottom and you'd have a photo that would please me...but who's out there trying to please me anyway? : )
I don't see how the title fits with this picture at all. You need to do more for this challenge than just taking a picture of a tree and saying the bottom of the leaf is a shadow. What is the round thing at the bottom of the picture? Its distracting and doesn't do anything for the photograph.
What does this photograph have to do with 'shadows'?? Whatever that is a the bottom edge of the frame (trash can maybe?) probalby should have been cropped out.... I can't score much on this shot for creativity and the 'shadow' concept just isn't here... better luck next time...
Sorry, but I'm really not seeing much of a tie to the challenge here. Aside from that, the white thing poking into the shot at the bottom is distracting and there's not much else to hold my interest.
A pretty picture. I would have marked it higher if you had controled the exposure a bit more, and the chair back in the foreground doesn't add to the composition.
