shadow photography – Bing images

In this image we have the subject doing a handstand on a moist looking surface, appearing to me a wet soil area with hills of the same substance in the background. The image doesn’t solely consist of the shadow but the source as well as the sun. Any image with the shadow is appealing to the eye because you have to wonder who’s behind it and what they’re doing. That adds a sort of mysterious curiosity to the image. However, in this case everything is in visible sight, so the same effect isn’t present. Despite that the pose she is performing in and of its own is an impressive feature to capture, what makes the image all the more appealing is the shadow present along with the setting. The beautiful sunset with cloudy skies, the moist ground which’s texture you can almost feel through the scree, and the background mountains and hills. Most out of everything however is the shadow reflecting off of the ground. It looks as though two people are soaring towards one another across some kind of portal. The image because of the shadow looks almost mystical. Like something out of movie. The shadow puts the image together in an inexplicable way. Something as simple as a shadow can create an image that comes to life.
