Just a Shadow of Myself by ladymagpie

Just a Shadow of Myself

My first flower has blossomed in my own garden and it's a Siberian Iris. I love this flower and can't wait for it to come out as I know it wont be here long. It's right beside my front garden railing, and many people like to stop and admire.

Now how did I get the shadow in this mornings sunshine, well by trying to hold a piece of white paper behind it with one hand, hold the camera with the other and wait for the wind to drop. The things I do for a photograph.
