Fascinating things, shadows. The lady appears to be almost suspended in the shadow.
This photograph reminds me of “The Charwoman’s Shadow” by Lord Dunsany. A young woman has been given an old woman’s shadow that casts its form upon her. When she is reunited with her own shadow she returns to being a young woman again. I now have to decide whether to fight my way into the attic or buy the book again on my e-reader 🙂
Excellent moment you registered; nice and optimistic.
I like your use of space in this photo: by leaving all the brightly lit empty space on the right in this photo, you give meaning to it, IMO. 🙂

Brilliant timing.

Thanks. Took one too early, but fortunately this came out just about right.

Aren’t they? Sometimes a help, other times a hinderance.
Into the attic I say. You might find some other books you fancy re-reading.

Thank you! I liked the sense of her moving into the light. Glad you think it works too.

Just wow! Best photo I’ve seen by you yet! And I’ve been been lurking for a half a year or so : P
Lee says
Thank you very much! And good to hear from you!
Was very pleased the way it came out. Timed it just about right.
