Playground shadows on shadows contest smash 407

I found inspiration for my shadows contest entry in the most playful place the playground with my kids. Watching their shadows stretch and twist as they ran, jumped, and played sparked an idea. I decided to use their shadows as the basis for my contest piece.

As played tag, their shadows danced on the ground I captured poses a leaping shadow here, an outstretched arm there. Combining these, I crafted a unique entry for the shadows contest.

The playground turned into a studio, with my kids unknowingly starring as models. Their energy and movements added an authentic touch. I translated the shadow play into my piece, hoping it'll stand out.

Using their shadows felt like capturing a moment of joy.
