In keeping with my 'Patterns' one a couple of weeks ago, this one is for pictures where the shadow(s) in the picture make it work. It doesn't have to be primarily OF a shadow, but my criteria for judging are best met by the use of shadows creatively, or where the picture without the shadow(s) would have less impact.

Here's one of mine to give an idea of what I like - although I'd like you to surprise me !

All right, since I don't host this week, I may as well submit one. This is strictly out of competition, though (not that I'm assuming anything) as I will be away until the end of the month.
This theme was just too tempting as I like this shot...

OK....,let's join in for this round, as i love shadows. This one was taken in the city of Esbjerg in Denmark last week. A pedestrian passage became a very eary place after a heavy downpour. The sun played tricks with the very wet pavement.

The photograph isolates and perpetuates a moment of time: an important and revealing moment, or an unimportant and meaningless one, depending upon the photographer's understanding of his subject and mastery of his process. -Edward Weston

Hate to go into the archives, but...
Taken about six+ years ago with Pentax ZX5, if I remember correctly.
