Just wandering, these hand prints and shadows caught my eye, I liked the way the shadow seems to make another hand.

I was sure I can never have the time to do deliberate photographic studies, let alone - on a predefined subject and with a deadline. November sunshine proved me wrong: I had 5 minutes, the subject was 'shadows' and I saw them, in my own sitting room and garden. Next day I even found time to crop and clean them a bit, and here they are - for your critique :)
I guess some of that white patch might be streetlights, but I thought they were in another direction. And that little yellow bit's my house :D

This northern flicker came into the shadows by the pool early in the morning before the sun lightened things up.
He didn't bathe, he just had a nice long drink.
This was taken through the Wonderful Wildlife Window.
Colaptes auratus
Although it can climb up the trunks of trees and hammer on wood like other woodpeckers, the Northern Flicker prefers to find food on the ground. Ants are its main food, and the flicker digs in the dirt to find them. It uses its long barbed tongue to lap up the ants.
Flickers also eat berries and seeds, especially in winter, including poison oak and ivy, dogwood, sumac, wild cherry and grape, bayberries, hackberries, and elderberries, and sunflower and thistle seeds
The Northern Flicker is one of the few North American woodpeckers that is strongly migratory. Flickers in the northern parts of their range move south for the winter, although a few individuals often stay rather far north.

Kumortuli images are generally ordered well in advance and there a few for off-the-shelf sale. Nowadays, Kumortuli’s clientele has extended to America, Europe and Africa, among the Indian communities living there. In 1989, Durga images made out of shola pith by Amarnath Ghosh were flown to Sweden, Australia, Malaysia and Nigeria. The images weighed only three kilograms each and were ideally suited for air travel.In modern times, Statues and replicas made out of Fiberglass are also being produced and exported to various parts of the country and the world.[12]
In 2006, Kumortuli supplied 12,300 clay deities of goddess Durga. This potter's town supplies images to about 90 countries worldwide with new nations joining the list every year. Many East European countries, where religious ceremonies were previously banned, have started buying images from Kumortuli. A spokesman of Kumartuli Shilpi Sangha (KSS), an association of the craftsmen, said the NRIs of countries like Hungary, Bulgaria, Russia, Austria and Poland, come to Kumortuli to buy images. U.S. based NRIs, including the Bengali Association of Southern California, Bengali Association of Greater Chicago, Dakshini, Sanskriti, Garden State Puja Committee of New Jersey, East Coast Durga Puja Committee of New York, North America Sarbojanin Kalipuja Association of Connecticut[13] come to Kumartuli to select deities to ship to their cities. Additionally, hundreds of agents in Kolkata service NRIs seeking idols from Kumortuli.[14]
In Kolkata, the icon-artisans mostly dwell in poor living conditions. The more popular among them are Mohan Banshi Rudra Pal and his sons Sanatan Rudra Pal and Pradip Rudra Pal, Rakhal Pal, Ganesh Pal, Aloke Sen, Kartik Pal, Kena Pal, who are still reigning figures of Kumortuli and despite the threats from the ‘theme artists’, they are booked by major puja organisers who admire the old school. Women are not lagging behind. Kumortuli boasts of the presence of some 30-odd women-artisans, like Minati Pal, Soma Pal, Kanchi Pal and Chapa Rani Pal. They have been in the business of idol making for a long time.[13] Kumortuli’s own Durga Puja dates back to 1933. The image maker was Gopeswar Pa

It's only your shadow, never yourself
It's only your shadow, nobody else
It's only your shadow, filling the room
Arriving too late and leaving too soon
For many reasons i love this shot.The lighting and the shadows are one of them.Also the facial expression. Its not the usual pregnant shot where the model is smiling and happy. This is more like "are you talking to me and my baby".
This shot was taken when she was 25 weeks preggy last sunday. Only few more weeks and im a daddy :)
Have a great sunday my friends!
