Inner Child *

My shadow is trying to personify my careless/fun child within...showing my real personality.
I got the idea of using shadow for the concept from an ipod ad.

Thank you Techo. i have updated the image with selective sharpening now. btw i did not understand the Peter Pan reference/connection. thanks for the suggestion. -Abstract

hehe you're at it again, a really fun one here and a fresh twist on the ole theme.
Peter Pan and his shadow was the first thought that came to mind but once you mentioned it, yeah I do remember the iPod ad. (*) Perhaps a little selective sharpening to eyes and the features of face.

Thank you Jano, Armin and Britt. I am glad you all liked the thought/idea behind the shot. -Abstract
ps: Britt, trust me...me dancing is not a pretty sight. it is sort of a mix of my rock-climbing and martial-arts moves...hehehehe :) no no i am not that bad. just not a clubbing sort, thats all.

Thank you, aam. :)
Cat, yes...you have no idea, how happy i am that you noticed the lean. i placed the camera (and light source) at waist level.
lower camera angle gives commanding feel to me, when viewer looks at me in ths photo...and towering shadow (my real personality) created 'coz of lower light souce overpowers my real figure. Thanks. -Abstract

Very nice Abs!! Don't know if the slight lean in your stance is intentional or not, but that helps to bring you "into" the picture and towards your shadow and establishes some connection. Good one. -Cat
