Playing With Shadows 2

No, this is not shadows on water, but you may think it is. Want to try and guess what it is? I was able to bring out a little mauve for the technicolor April challenge by manipulating the color a bit. According to my dictionary, mauve is pinkish violet to reddish purple. Funny I always thought it was a grayish-pinkish-brown!

Is it a macro shot of a flower petal

[Joyce Wells]

I agree with you, Ann - I always thought it was grayish-pinkish-brown. Also, most people say, "mauv", where I've always pronounced it "mov". with a long "o". I have no clue what this is - sure looks like water to me!

[Susan]

Is it a shadow/reflection on glass?

[Maggiemae]

I would have thought grey would come into it too! This is recognisable by being mauve and I think it is very beautiful!

[Kerri]

Cool

[Lisa Stein]

Beautiful light play!

[Taffy]

Great shot! The patterns and soft focus work really well.

[alia_801]

Pretty! I like the abstractness. Shot through a glass or vase?

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

Looks like flowing water, to me. There are what look like little rivulets all flowing into the bottom right.

[Dione Giorgio]

It does look like reflection on the water.

[Jennifer]

Cool abstract. Is it a close up of a leaf?

[Colleen]

Wonderfully abstract!

[Sally Ings]

Tin foil springs to mind but really have no idea at all!

[Nicole Campbell]

I have no idea but can't wait to find out what it is.

[Netkonnexion]

Interesting... different.

[Tanja Carda]

Could this be aluminum foil? Looks like a wonderful abstract, nice textures and tones =)

[summerfield]

[Laraine Kensicki]

Thank you one and all!! I was impressed with all your guesses and they were good ones, but they weren't right! Believe it or not, these shadows are falling across the tarp that covers our wood pile! It's made of black plastic but during the golden hour while the sun sets, the shadows and light change the color completely! It never ceases to amaze me what light and shadow will do to any given subject throughout the day.

@olivetreeann My gosh -- I would NEVER have guessed!! It shows that the good photo isn't finding the beautiful spot necessarily. Rather, it's about seeing beauty and capturing it even in the most unlikely of places!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@taffy I know and I would never have seen it in the first place if I hadn't given myself this personal challenge. Another benefit of 365!!

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

Oh, yes, it's obvious now ;-) lol!

[Kathryn Marshall]

wonderful shot. I would have never guessed the subject.

[jT]

wow - that is certainly finding the beauty in the ordinary - nice work!

[Bev]

I have no clue what it is. It looks extremely abstract whatever it is. I do know one thing about it.... great shot! Well done, Ann! :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@Cheesebiscuit (o:
@daisy Thanks Kathryn! It is a surprise, isn't it?
@janetoner Thank you Jane! Now that I'm in my third year on 365, I have come to realize there is no such thing as "ordinary". (o:
@prttblues Thanks Bev! The answer is above in that mass thank you- I'm too lazy to type it out again! hehe

[Bev]

@olivetreeann Very cool!

[Henri Russell]

Very interesting

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@henrir Thanks Henri! It was a good find!
