Isn’t this picture mysterious? For a while now I was confused. I know your shadow is standing right there but the other cant be a shadow 😂 it looks so real. I thought a shadow was meant to be black or just the color of a shadow but somehow you brought an inanimate object to life with its shadows even when humans don’t come alive in shadows.
All thanks to your wife for taking those pictures and im glad you could be such a still muse for the moment to give our community such a beautiful piece, I hope you win the contest.
Sending votes love and hugs!

i like to play with shadows🙂it brings out the kid in me and i am happy you took interest in my post. my shadow in the last photo and my wife's shadow in the first two are black because no light passes through either or us. on the other hand the walls and bottom of the white plastic box are so thin that some light passes through them. the chemistry and physics of the translucent plastic filters out most of the colors inherent in sunlight and only allows the brownish yellow to pass through. in order to make the box strong and stiff the rim and corners are much thicker than the walls and bottom so light does not pass through them. that's why the shadow of the rim and corners is much more black, similar to our shadows.
then there is the matter of the shape of the box vs the shadow. twisting and turning the box makes shadows that seem impossible given the fixed dimensions of the box but it is merely a matter of physics and angles, even for an opaque object. the fact that the plastic box is translucent gives these shadows a delightful three dimensional effect. playing around with shadows like this can be quite fun and satisfying i hope you try it. if you do please post your images in the contest. best wishes

at first glance shadows may seem quite simple but good artists and architects go to great lengths to understand their complexity
Right!!! You’re so amazing. I just did submit my entry maybe you should look at it. Thank you 🫶🏻
