Although this challeng is well gone, I'd like to add my last pics, because the aim was mainly to achieve a good result on shadows...

Good choice. Congrats, Marg.

oookay, folks.... here it comes.... with my apologies for being later than I'd predicted. I actually thought I had a pretty clear idea of who it would be, just needed to narrow it down a tiny bit more based on one last look at the pictures themselves in full size...

So I started going through them this morning, jotting notes on all of 'em for the final commentary.... and suddenly realized it was anything BUT a simple choice!

How on earth did such a difficult exercise produce such a harvest??

15 artists (granted, a couple were dragged here not exactly on their own) not including me

38 pieces (plus the two examples I gave and 2 of my own new ones) and all of them gave me such pleasure! THANK you!

Special thanks to Shanley who early on offered a link to a whole article on the intricacies of shadow.

I'll just say flat out that there are a handful I haven't been able to get out of my mind... don't need to look back in here to remember them. Among those are stevedover's moonlight cottage and gebbeth, and Clorophilla's eclipse! But oh those apples... the still lifes... oh just any figure that stood starkly... lol...

Since I can't easily get away with splintering the silly thing 3 ways, much less 5 or 15, I'm hereby exercising my right to be utterly arbitrary, passing the baton to...

marg ! ...for that combination of shadows & reflections--
