I'm sorry but I don't know what I'm looking at and that becomes a distraction.

My Shadow Stayed There

The message
The artificial colors and soft focus give this image an ethereal feel, which is fitting for a shadow. It's an interesting idea, and it does grab attention to begin with; unfortunately, there isn't a lot of substance to hold it for long.

Creative choices
The colors used here are well chosen, and keeping the trees black gives the image a grounding in reality. The texture of the snow is very nice. The composition isn't very effective; the image is divided in half with little to connect the top and bottom halves. Cropping off the top part right below the largest tree would avoid this.

Technical aspects
The focus is appropriately soft. The exposure seems right, but I think making the midtones a little darker would show the shadow better and improve the image.

LIke the composition. The light is so intense, but the snow texture is OK. Good shoot.
