Greetings to all the Shadow Hunters community!
I hope everyone is having a great and peaceful day.
I am really happy to be participating in the Shadow Hunters/ #SMASh Contest - Round 428 organized by @melinda010100 today. This is a great contest, and I always love finding all the wonderful shadows around me.I am sharing several photos for this round, but my main entry is the first black and white photo.
I took this photo from my village. Our village is a very peaceful and beautiful place surrounded by trees. Today, when I was thinking about what to enter this contest with, these amazing shadows caught my eye in front of my house. The sun was quite strong, and the shadows of the tall palm trees and other green trees on the side of the road were falling very clearly and beautifully on that dusty road in the village.
I deliberately made this particular photo black and white. You might be wondering why! Because I feel that when there is no green or blue in the picture, the shadow becomes the real 'hero' of the picture.
This contrast between the harsh sun and the dark, long shadows falling on the ground seems like a masterpiece to me. The palm trees are very old, and their shadows look like someone has drawn a huge shape on the ground. I really hope that the judges and friends of the community will like my creative idea!
Along with my main entry, I am also sharing some more colorful photos of the same place. It was a very sunny day in Bangladesh today. You can see in the photos the fresh green grass, the large fields, the clear blue sky and how each tree and leaf has created its own shadow in the harsh midday sun. Living in the village, I get the opportunity to enjoy these simple but extraordinary moments of nature every day.
Taking pictures of nature, especially taking pictures of insects and shadows, is a very favorite hobby of mine.
I would like to sincerely thank the community, @melinda010100 and all the sponsors for organizing this wonderful competition. It really encourages us to notice the small beautiful things around us.
Best of luck to all the contestants in this round!
