Shadow is an expressive "light" born representation of that which is tangible. As such, it is a real part of the real world. This is NOT a slur. Your photograph is dynamic and very interesting. The concept and execution are superb. #108952

A shadow is an interesting character, because of the mysterious aura that surrounds it. Shadows compose, form, deform, imitate and compose again at every second. They are creatures that want to gain their independence but are still attached to their masters... meaning objects, light and a place where they can exist (wall, floor, etc).
Shadows are creatures from the light as Roger says. They need light to exist but at the same time they are the absence of light...
