I like this, although as yet I cannot really articulate exactly why. Interesting lines and textures for sure. On the technical side I think you either used a lens baby or blurred quite a large area around the edge some other way. The sudden transition from blur to sharp near the front banana favors the latter theory.

There is something quirky about this that I like. It makes me smile. I also like its simplicity and that it's all about shadows.

The Shadows Of The Bird
by photokid69

Comment:
Wonderful shot. Nicely framed. The shadows of the rotor blades fall in a good position in the image. Lots of interesting detail but yet my attention always comes back to the "bird". Top 5.

Good shot overall. Technically excellent and visually interesting. I find myself wondering "why a leaf?" and there is something about its shape that imo detracts from the image, but I enjoy the light on its veins. I wonder if it would have been a stronger image with some separation between the base of the leaf and the adjacent dark area, just a thought. 7

Interesting textures, and the shadow is just perfectly placed relative to the arrow!

Light & Shadow Source

An interesting concept, but this does not engage me at all emotionally. The most prominent part of the image is the metal socket thread, but that is the least interesting thing and also at odds with the focus you want given your title. 5

Wonderful sense of movement in this image, and it almost has the feeling of a wood cut/etching. Great composition and contrast. Love it! 9

Shadow of a tree

I like this shadow, and shadows of trees in general! You have kept a nice amount of detail in the shadows. Did you consider cropping the top to exclude the white fence and benches etc. I think that would have strengthened the overall composition.

I like the patterns. Well composed. I wonder if you tried this with more contrast? Having darker shadows would have made this an even stronger image, IMO.
