The joke is that there is no backdrop. I just took a standard shot of 3 seeds hanging from a tree, with fill in flash, against the sunset. I have no idea why the shadows formed like they did, as if the backdrop is just 5 centimeters behind the seeds.

didn't comment on all my favorites during voting so I'M BACK.... I love the compositon and the fading effect. Happy to see it's a long exposure - terrific entry!

Bizarre effect. They look to be floating above the image.
