Well, it's been almost a week since voting on our last challenge ended and it doesn't seem as though anyone else is ready to start a new one yet so...are you ready for another one?

Mimi & Me have a few different ideas but recently a dear Owd friend on the site sent me a suggestion for a challenge theme and we thought it might be pretty interesting and hope you do too...SHADOWS.

To borrow a few words from a site I visited recently...(betterphoto.com)... "Shadows create fascinating pictures on their own, and they also are beautiful when paired with their parent object. The contrast between the image and its shadow makes an amazing photograph". After viewing some of the shadow images on that site I would heartily agree.

So, we're looking for lots of creativity and variety, hopefully something brand new, but as before, if you currently have something in your gallery that you strongly feel would be a good entry for this theme, you may submit it.

All art forms are welcome to participate and we hope you do but if it proves a bit difficult for fractalists, don't worry...sometime we'll have a challenge JUST for fractals.

Limit 2 entries only...providing links or the titles of your entries on this thread...

Deadline to submit entries is 2 weeks from today...Tuesday, May 26th. 9 P.M. Pacific Time...

As before, a vote will take place at the end...further details on that later...we look forward to having you join in and would appreciate any and all help to spread the word.

You've really come up with some excellent themes and concepts for these challenges, Pat. :o)

Just went through the last challenge you and Mimi ran, namely; "Your Days Are Numbered !"

The submissions were great and the 'winners' most deserving.

This one is shaping up very nicely as well.


And know that both of your invested times and efforts are greatly appreciated. :o)

Congrats to Bob on his 1st place, a really fine shot! And congrats to all the other winners. (Many thanks to those who chose my image as one of their three.) There were so many great images in this challenge it was really hard to limit the vote to just three! And of course, the biggest thanks of all and a hearty "Well done!" to Pat and Mimi.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up and totally worn out, screaming "WOO HOO - What a Ride!"
