Dancer in the Shadows by taffy

Dancer in the Shadows

This dancer has appeared a time or two over the past 3 years. Jim noticed the clear shadow as we were eating dinner -- photo worthy for leaving the table to take a few shots. Processed in Silver Efex.
Thanks for your lovely comments (and patience) with my postings using the PIPcamera app.
Love how you can see the shadow cast perfectly, yet also the main dancing figure depicted with such great textures.

I've become quite amazed at the transience of light and shadow. Not as bad as animals... but when you see it, press the shutter!

I know what you mean about having to leave the dinner table, shadow shots are so fleeting that they might never be repeated.
