many congrats Sarah on a lovely whimsical image .
you have caught her expression so perfectly ... i'm loving that most of all ..
its a beautiful portrait that i'm thinking she'd want to hang on her own wall .. unless that's too narcissistic for such a seemingly deep and thoughtful person .. ! .. ;)

edit to add .. lol .. !! .. ;)

many congratulations Barbara on the red ..
such a wonderful graphic image . so well seen and photographed .
i'm wondering if you risked life and limb to get this shot leaning far out over the banister .. !! ..
wouldnt surprise me .. i think most of us here would get lost in the act of taking a photo forgetting possible dangers .. i know i have .. but possibly not risking falling down three stories and landing on concrete . !! .. ;)

incredible image ..
just shows what an amazing photographer with some good equipment can do ..
the equipment alone just wouldnt nail it like you have .
i feel a bit like Rich .. i have been trying to photograph birds .. and getting even the ones that arent moving in focus is challenging .. !! .
many congratulations on such a wonderful photograph and the blue .. and also ending up on your profile page .. :)

this is SO GOOD . !!! ..
looks like the bike is emerging from some underground cavern .. of a scary nature ..
i just noticed your title ..
so i'm imagining the bike coming out where you are saying its going in .
thats whatever .. its a fantastic image for the challenge . its ALL ABOUT SHADOWS . loving your black and white edit and the high contrast .

could be Lev on the beach where he photographed some unsuspecting children building a sandcastle .. just turned around and there is a perfect shot for shadows . !! .. ;)
of course this is not necessarily taken by Lev .. was the first thing that popped into my mind .
i'm loving the shadow in this picture .. and how this totally satisfies the challenge .. so well seen .. :)

Every sunrise is an invitation to brighten someone’s day

what an absolutely WONDERFUL sentiment .. and if we all carried that thought around with us during the day .. it would make this world a much more friendly and happy place .. its something i try to remember myself ...
i have now seen all the entries in this challenge and this is the one i hope will get the blue .. i'm loving the expression on the man's face . it so perfectly mirrors your sentiment . and i'm loving how you have made the shadows such an integral part of this image .. with the sunlight coming thru the blinds .. this is fantastic .
