Taken at a local park, in the rain. It was dusk with some long shadows from the park lamps (maybe 10-12 feet in height). High ISO allowed for the grain.

Now if only more people would take the time to look and think, the world would be a better place (did I say that?) well certainly you'd at least have a deserving score.
This obviously meets the challenge, since a shadow, more often than not, has some similarity to the body it is a shadow of. This is usually pretty trivial, but here however, I find that the motion blur is actually the true counterpart of the body. It is as graceful and subtle and is flowing just like her foot. So the way I see it, you meet the challenge two ways, which is not trivial at all.
Achingly lovely. The voluptuous female torso curve drawn with just the shadow of a quite different body part is beautiful. A lesson in comprehension, vision and restraint. If only you could pass them around. My top pick.
Images like this make me wish there were an abstract branch of DPC. Is this you, Ben? Such musicality and movement, and just enough of a hint to make me want to chase it.
