[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Have you never been afraid of your own shadow...?
Well, may be you should! That's a very special experience...
It happened to me once. I was going in a farm in a remote area, by night, to hear a storyteller and I wasn't sure of my way. I passed by an orchard. Under the moonlight I distinguished a silhouette between the boles... I interpellated it, asking my way. No answer! I moved, the profile moved too. I began to feel anguished. Was it a pervert? I called again, trying to keep my voice strong and moved faster. As the silhouette moved the same way, my heartbeat accelerated! What the hell...
And then, suddenly I realised that I was afraid of my own shadow! What a ridiculous situation! But very funny indeed... It made me laugh all the way to the farm. And I arrived there in the perfect mood to hear a tale, even the most unbelievable!

That picture is not related to that, but it's a friend's shadow on a wall in Sana'a, which is a fairy tale location by itself. When he heard the small noise of my trigger, he looked back instinctively... and discovered, surprised, his shadow on the wall...

Hi Marine - nice illustration of the story. Beautiful light and a clever composition. Lacking just a little sharpness but still well executed.

Best regards, Roberto

Bonsoir Marine
ce jeu d'ombres est très beau parcqu'il laisse part à l'imagination.
En plus la couleur dominante est magnifique
C'est du très beau travail
Amicalement
Bertrand

Bonjour Marine
j'aime beaucoup le graphisme et l'harmonie des couleurs dans cette photo. Le côté abstrait me plait bien. Belle photo.
Xavier

Salut Marine,

trop fort, ton histoire !
j'aurais recadré l'image, en ôtant les parties un peu plus sombres en haut, et à droite.
Il y a de belles traces, sur ce mur !
Bises
Marie
