This shot was taken in my garage. I used a hologen light to create the shadows. I needed the light another 5 or 6 feet further away to get the shadows with less distortion, but I couldn't get the lamp that far away, too short of a cord and NO grounded extension cord, bummer. The elves were from a metal garden cut out and the extra stuff was a potted tansey.
I was trying to give the effect of a moonlit dance. After much thought, I wish I had included a small, round mirror (to emulate the moon) and glitter for a little sparkle, but hindsight and all. Thanks for the comments. |

| I wish the shadows were more vivid...they seem blurry. |

| The title definitely helps me to see that in the shadows. I couldn't help but wondering what I would have seen if you hadn't titled it that? |

| Ooh! I love the patterns and textures. Without the title I may not have been able to see the elves. |

| Wow, this is really cool! The distortion of the shadows gives the elves so much life and lightness. I'm not sure how you created this, but nice work :) |

| Needs more definition. The figures are too fuzzy. If they were closer to the light they might have cast a sharper shadow. I would really like to see this one!! |

| Very cute, love the illusion of motion. A tighter crop (640x427) would have made this even better. |

| Interesting shadows that strongly tie-in with the challenge. It would be better me thinks, if there were more definition in the shadows. |

| I'm not sure I would've recognized this w/out the title. A more even/smooth background might have helped, too. |
