Fantastic composition, I love the colors and just that you got the bird in it. Ribbon? Hope you do well!
Post actions
Great capture, though a crop to remove the light and gull would have been good, detrats from an otherwise great photo.
Post actions
Well titled. Love the shadows, the shade of blue, and the birds.
Post actions
Wonderful shadow capture!
Post actions
Back to comment and bump. Being a science type person I especially love this one. How exactly did you get the birds to pose so nicely for you anyway? Very nicely done.
Post actions
Challenge: SHADOWS III
Aesthetics : Well composed, aesthetically pleasing 2
Technical: Technically well executed 2
Wow: Real impact 2
Post actions
I've seen this somewhere before... Would of looked better without the birds nd the light post but still a great capture of shadows...8
Post actions
Post actions
Would have been tempted to clone out the left lower pole and gull and the upper right gull. But then again, I like the gulls too. The image is very crisp and clean.
Post actions
Right place at the right time! nice image hope it does well for you.
Post actions
This is one of the best shadows in this challenge! I hope this does well for you!
Post actions
Nice work in capturing this. Nice that you kept the gull in the top right. Perhaps a bit more blue for him to fly into before darting out of the picture? (IOW: Make the pic a tad wider?)

great shot. bummer the light to the left is there, great shot though :) 7

Just a gorgeious illusionary capture. This is the embodiment of what the challenge was looking for. Great job.
Post actions
Clever. It's perhaps the most witty use of a shadow in this challenge. Genetic pedants might say it's not really a double helix (more of a twin helix) but even they would have to admire the steps treads so convincingly representing the base molecular bonds. Plus a bonus point for including the pair of birds. 8.
Post actions
Excellent capture of the double stair well.
Post actions
Simply great. Good colors, clarity, nice to have the birds there... overall a very nice picture :o) -9

One of my favs - and you've got 2 birds in it - wonder if you waited for them?
Post actions
That is some great shadow. I'm unconvinced about the lamp post though.. I'm guessing you left it in because of the feature seagull on the top, but I think maybe that is just distracting from the shadow as the main subject of your image.
Post actions
Great image and the birds really add to it. 8
Post actions
Terrific pattern. I think you could have made even more impact with it if you'd cropped tighter, getting rid of the distracting elements (lamposts and birds).
Post actions
Post actions
great to spot this, well done
Post actions
cool shadows, and birds. might be an optical illusion but none of the vertical lines seem to be straight
Post actions
Post actions
For me, this was the best shadow image in the challenge. Very nicely done and a perfect 10 for me.
Post actions
Good find, and taken at the right time, of course!
Post actions
Now that is a cool shot that stands out! You get my 10!
Post actions
WOW! Is this naturaly happening or is it Photoshop? Either way great image. Bird details add a nice touch.
Post actions
Makes you wonder if it was designed to look this way.
Post actions
Neat shadows, well spotted. I can't quite make up my mind about the left hand light post. In one way it bugs me, yet somehow it balance the one on top. 8
Post actions
Great find and very well taken.
Post actions
Very nice. I would have cropped or cloned out the lamp and the gulls though. They really detract.
Post actions
I like this..maybe the only thing, )and I am sure you have heard this) maybe the light pole with the bird Should be cropped out great pic otherwise
Post actions
Excellent Find!!
Post actions
i would have cropped the light post out but its a great shot never the less.
Post actions
Oh now that's cool! One of my favourites.
Post actions
One of the winners. I don't know if it would be 1st or second, but I don't think it would be 3rd... Excellent catch, very nice photo :)
Post actions
Very nice effect ! It's a nice composition with the contrast between a great blue sky and the concrete of the building.
Post actions
wonderfull, wish I could vote, you'd get an 8
Post actions
Super, love everything about it.
Post actions
Excellant find & great perspective.
Post actions
Nice shadow and object near-symmetry. Good catch of two birds as well
Post actions
Post actions
You have real vision to pick that out. It is a great shot.

Cool geometry. The bird in the upper right makes the shot!
