Shadow Shot Sunday

Hurray! My first Solo Exhibition in Sendai, Japan went very well. I will write more on that later. Thank you to everyone who came to the exhibition!

This is my first time to join the shadow shot sunday. This is a close-up of some sunflowers I received. I like the colorful shadows in the yellow petals and the shadow on the green. See Hey Harriet's blog for links to other blogs that have joined.

Welcome to SSS, I so love the shadowy veins on flowers, it's a whole other dimension of vision, one normally wants to look only at the beautiful flower. Good shot!

Sandra and Lisa, thank you for coming by.

Toni and Sweet Repose, I got a whole new perspective of sunflowers through this shot. I just might start looking at the underside of flowers more often.
