Very nice, Bee! I love shadow photos and this one is especially nice! Is this a black and white conversion or the original image?

[Bee Emily]

Jules,
This is the original image. The flowers were a pink/lavendar color whis I also have a pic of.

Great thinking Bee! The grey gravel and the shadows nicely complement each other. Flowers show much detail in their shadows which makes this an interesting picture (will not work with all flowers I guess). Only critique I have is that the shadows of the flowers on the right are cut off. Compositionwise it would have been nice to have them completely in the frame, but I'm guessing that there are more distracting shadows to the right. Great work!

Hey Bee, good eye to spot this. Good sharp details, only wish it didn't have the large black area in the lower left corner, I don't think it adds any interest.
