Used a white backdrop. Used natural light near a window for my lighting. Minimal editing. Used a soft focus editing tool on my camera. I purposely, left the shadows lighter than on the origional photograph. Because, the flowers were so delicate and b & w photos seem to be more dramatic, I decided to lighten the picture up just a bit for that purpose. To make the photo delicate.

For a Shadows challenge I think the emphasis should be more on the shadow... and if I saw this image outside of the challenge, I would not remark on the shadow ... as it's barely there. Sorry. But, it's just one person's opinion.
It took me a second to grab the shadows out of the background! They're very fine and dainty.
I'm liking the composition but I can't decide if the leaf in the corner is helping or distracting. I also can't decide if the flowers have grain or if they're just fuzzy.
