Love the first one, in particular, David. Looks like an old monk!
Best wishes,
Andrew

I like #2 and #3 the best.
I wonder what #2 looks like upside down?

These are great - especially the first two for me and number 2 especially. Agree with the comment earlier about chopping off at the knees - I rather like it with a strip chopped off the top. I really like the way the legs are very sharp and the shadows have a fuzziness from the texture of the road - and that applies for the shadow edges in number 1 as well - very cool!

Why not cut it off at the feet so you can only see the shadows? that worked quite well when I scrolled down to hide the real legs and feet

These look like they've evolved from 'Durham Shades' in your gallery. I agree with Alan - nice work.

Shadows - a crop

OK I agree with those who suggested a crop on this picture. It's tidied up the composition, thanks for your input.
And one from Durham market Place

Quite a challenge finding some sun to produce shadows at the moment David.
I like all three, although the symmetry of "Shadow 2" really stands out for me, the cloister window with the mother and child (I think) works very well.
Nice set David
