Great shot.

This is great, maybe a challenge of shadows

@fullcircle Thanks Cindy- you're right, I could post it as a one week challenge for anyone who'd like to give it a go.
April 7th, 2013  
love the curvy white ribbon-like appearance on the right!

You could do a lot with this photo - be a good, eye catching photo to advertise something! I'm thinking of music, instruments, a concert!

@eniaral Thanks Laraine! It's sunlight on the curtains.
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie!

Great shot. Shadows are fun to do. I should do a few myself. Haven't done any in awhile. Great job, Ann! :)

Wonderful.... love that curvey line...
April 7th, 2013  
Not quite sure what I'm looking at, but it makes for a very cool, mysterious pic. I could imagine this on the cover of a mystery novel...
April 7th, 2013

Beautiful shot and very original too.

What a wonderful abstract. The light and shadows works so well. I also like the curves contrasting with the lines.
April 7th, 2013  
Very neat shadows
April 7th, 2013  
So beautiful! I really love the abstractness of this shot! Wonderful!

April 8th, 2013

Thank you Bev, Nicole, Janice, Phil, Alia, Simmy, Dione, Vickie, Taffy, Henri, Mandy, Paula, Vikki, Edie, Pam and Pinar! My apologies for being awol a few days- hubby took over the computer! I'm trying my best to get back on track. So glad you all enjoyed the shot.

For those of you who wanted to know what it is- I confess to a little trickery here as I have turned the original shot on its side. The straight lines are slats of the blinds on my bed room window. The brown is the window sill. The white line is a shadow cast by one of the slats on to my sheer curtains which cover the window. The shot has been purposely underexposed to bring out the shadow- which has made it look white. The reason you do not see more slat shadows is because once below the sill, the curtains no longer catch the sun passing through them. Above the sill, the sun is caught more in the folds of the curtains rather than across them (those gray vertical-like stripes). It is an absolutely fascinating effect and really worked well for this shot!

@potsbypam Hi Pam!!! I was just thinking about you the other day- really!! Said a prayer for you and here you are! Thanks for the fav! And good to see you again!!

April 13th, 2013  
I have to ask: what is it? My head is saying it's some kind of musical instrument, but I think that's just the "wave" at the back that is making me think of sound. Fascinating photo, faved.

@Cheesebiscuit No problem- I enjoy divulging my "secrets"! Here's a recap of what I printed above:

For those of you who wanted to know what it is- I confess to a little trickery here as I have turned the original shot on its side. The straight lines are slats of the blinds on my bed room window. The brown is the window sill. The white line is a shadow cast by one of the slats on to my sheer curtains which cover the window. The shot has been purposely underexposed to bring out the shadow- which has made it look white.

Above the sill, the sun is caught more in the folds of the curtains rather than across them (those gray vertical-like stripes). It is an absolutely fascinating effect and really worked well for this shot!
And thank you so much for the fav!!

@olivetreeann Oh Ann. I am so stupid. Sorry, I didn't realise you'd already explained.
April 15th, 2013  
@Cheesebiscuit Oh- don't feel bad about that- I don't always read all the comments and have done the same to other photographers. I love the copy and paste function!!
April 15th, 2013  
Love the abstract look of this. Beautiful tones and lines. Well seen and captured Ann =)
