The Weekend in Black and White: Shadows on the snow

I've been taking a lot of shadow shots this winter.

I was glad we got enough snow to play around with snow and shadows.

I like snow with sunny days in general and that combination results in a lot of shadows to play with.

I thought the tree stumps looked like a row of hats below.

I had trouble deciding which shot to use this week.

    The sun and the snow give the opportunity for high contrast shots.

    I agree-the stumps do look like hats. Like the first shot a lot too-the bridge gives the foreground interest.

    I like the added starkness B&W provides.

    These would have been a total waste in colour - but great in monochrome!

    Sun on snow makes a wonderful canvass for your shadow 'paintings' (and they look like fine art)!
