There was absolutely no light from the left. Trees are illuminated from the right and shadows on the street are -as well- caused by light from the right.

Anyway, it wasn't intended to produce silhouettes. They weren't asked for. I think the picture would be (even) less attractive as pure silhouettes.

Thanks for the most detailed comment I got in this challenge and points that increased my avarage ;-)

Good try, it is very hard to do this technique with diffused light source like a cloudy day. Great effort.
