Playing for the Bat

I liked the way the shadows were cast.

What a wonderful abstract image. Each time I look at it I see something different. The shadows make a great play on light. The monotone colors add a mysterious look and feel for the scene.

Good eye for seeing this and capturing the image. Best of fortune in the contest ~ Steve

That certainly is an interesting creation!
I 'see' something deeply 'Lovecraftian' in the image but trying to explain what I mean by that would quickly become rather confusing so I'll just say that I'm enjoying it a lot!

This is a very interesting photo! I can totally see the image of the bat in the tree. I love the shadows casted here tho and it does kind of give it a story. Great shot!

Ha! I like this. It looks like a chubby round Squirrel playing a flower flute. I really enjoy images that make us use our imaginations and this is an excellent example of one. Well done and thanks for the giggle!

Those are interesting shadows indeed. I am not sure which animals are lurking above, but there might be a bat among. I also see an shadow which looks like a cat. I like that you included the original garden decor. The light reflecting on the metal-flower is especial intriguing. In my opinion the bright light below at the left is distracting. Maybe you could clone or airbrush it. The original decoration and its shadow are perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

    nikman,
    thank you for your time in looking and leaving me your thoughts on the photo, it is appreciated. the shadow of the tree looking like a bat hanging was a fun aspect of the shadow and then capturing it in the photo as well.

A beautifully arranged shot. Even the shadows along the top and right edge are excellent. The only thing I might consider would be to clone out that white bar in the lower left. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from JirinaInspire


I can see clearly the frog, it could be very well playing flute in the shape of flower instrument. There could be more than one bat in the branches of the tree. Interesting composition and good focus on the main object. With only few colors in this photo, there is good focus on the night and shades projected.
