The sunset cast a nice shadow of the tree on the side of a white barn. I left the
bottom frame slightly diagonal to break up the vertical lines of the barn boards.
Converted to B + W in channel conversion.

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Sat, 11/07/09 15:18 I see that you are also fascinated by the strong shadows cast by the leaf less trees at this time of the year. I prefer the images in color but there is a solid contrast here between the shadows cast by the tree and the white barn which creates the illusion that one is actually looking at a real tree rather than its shadowy counterpart. Comments by Sandi MacDonald on Sat, 11/07/09 16:13 Very interesting shot...the tree has a nice shape. Comments by Paul Maxan on Sun, 11/08/09 00:21 It looks like the shadow of a dancing tree. I wish it would be a bit darker but maybe it's just me, lately I like darker tones. I do not know if a bit of more tilting to the left would have helped, the shadow seems to fall on the right side because of the large lower branch.

Comments by Michael Dreese on Sun, 11/08/09 12:47 Great find, I love the slated barn boards as a backdrop for the tree. Comments by Linda Frey on Sun, 11/08/09 13:23 I like the shadow on the boards, but for me, the wedge at the bottom doesn't help. Just my opinion, though! Comments by John Wise on Sun, 11/08/09 22:14 Nice textures under the shadow. Comments by Mike Hites on Sun, 11/08/09 22:35 Nice one, although I agree with Linda re the bottom.
