Not sure which "shadow" you mean, Rob. Black ones on the right or the lighter one just left of them. If the latter that is the statue "Boy with Frog."

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ah, I was thinking the boy with the frog. Good fun shot, though.

Thanks Rob.

I like the stars

 

[Brian Moore]

I like the stars

Thank youJulian. I think the pinpoint reflections of the stars of the tiles and trees are really rather special.

Yes very reflective bushes

What fantastic light and what a super composition. I like the way the Boy with Frog seems to balance the seated figure - shadows it almost. Is that Sadie at the top of the steps?

Much appreciated Pete. Thank you. Boy With Frog does indeed seem to balance the seated figure. I didn't see that until you mentioned it. And no, that's not Sadie at the top of the steps. I'm not sure what it is, actually. I would guess that one of the two walking persons who appear as black shadows perhaps left one foot behind a nanosecond longer than the rest of him or herself, thus allowing the emulsion to trap enough light from that location to almost show some kind of an image. In this case apparently it is almost an image of the world's most splendid canine! Thanks again, Pete.
