Oh I love it, Pat.
Love the feel of this pic.
Happy WW!
Hey,that's cool.Neat effect.
Blessings,Ruth
Very cool, The light is very nice!!!
That's cool. You've got to be always looking around for those unusual shots.
I LOVE shadow shots like this, very cool!
Thanks for stopping by my WW post today! The stork in the picture is in a national park in Ethiopia, there were guides throwing food at the storks to get them to come closer and I think they were pretty used to people in general.
What a cool self portrait!
Oooh, what a wonderful photo! I love shadows.
Oooh, I like it! Self-referential, heh! :)
I must say, as interested as I was in this photo, my chocolate jones wouldn't let the post below this one escape my notice. 'Chocolate City'?!?! I thought it was a myth, an urban and not-so-urban legend! Must.Go.To.Chocolate.City!
Thanks, everyone! I was looking for good shots of the geese and the swan on our lake when I noticed the fairly clear shadow of me on the shallow water near the spillway. I know, vanity, vanity.
