i like it very much,Stefan,and it somehow reminds me of my pic you last commented on ;-)
i think that shadows do have faces,but we humans can't see them - only other shadows can.

No dear, they do not have faces... still try to explore their identity...This is my favourite of the series, I love this technique! Congratulations

Ha! Well, *I* always thought some professional help would be a good idea! :-p

Becky - another thing: I agree with you on the level of detail in the ground. I wanted to go slower than the 1/15 s I used but the aperture was maxed out at f/8 even with the handy little three stop ND filter that is built into the camera.
About the good idea - other backgrounds, not the professional help part :-)

Emily wrote "THANK YOU for giving me doors to travel!!!!!!!!!" I believe that your style has something to do with it. You reveal new inner "ways" to walk aroud the "outer" world... With simple techniques, you break some walls of inner blindness... I'm not really sure about what I'm writing, but that's how I feel sometimes looking at your photos... There is a real scientist spirit behind these abstractions...
See ya! ;-))

A most giddying shadow.
Nice to see your critique hilighted today.

I have to admit I've had a hard time assessing this series, mostly because I couldn't articulate what I thought about it (even in my own head, where things kind of work themselves out without words . . . well, most of the time, anyway!).
To be honest, I didn't like this series at first. I think it's mostly because of the background. I completely understand why you used it - you need lots of little detail, plus sun and shadow to make the movement look more interesting. However, I feel the background is just too busy and too . . . identifiable to make a solid abstract (admittedly, an abstract might not have been your purpose).
That said, I like the last two photos of this series (XVII and this one). I like the higher level of distortion in the background (especially on XXIII) and how the shadow looks more disporportioned and monsterous. (I didn't see a thumbs up in XVII, but rather a hand reaching out to strangle someone. And yes, I'm thinking about seeking professional help . . .). I like the sense of accelerated motion in XXIII and how the shadow is a part of that motion.
I really like this idea (I'm always jealous of your ideas!) and I would really like to see you try it with different backgrounds, from pools of water, to perhaps a brightly painted/graffiti covered wall.

This one seems to have a face as he seems to be struggling in his way through the windy evening.. This series is excellent.

Votre série est bien belle ; très diffficile de dire laquelle est la plus belle, sinon par subjectivité ;)
Merci de votre commentaire, bien vu je crois; drilan

You have found a good technique in this series. It's a different look and leaves room for full play of the imagination.
