Today, I shot this bronze statue many times but couldn't eliminate the shadow when using the camera flash. Somehow the song "Me and My Shadow" buzzes through my head whenever I look at this image. I was going to put a black cloth in the background, but it would dilute the profile. Someday, maybe I'll get better lighting conditions in my apartment to photograph art objects without shadows. Nevertheless, I still like this photo.
