Shadow

The assignment for this photo was to incorporate a shadow. Now I love shadows and playing with light in photos. I think it is a huge element in how others perceive the image. I have this little trinket that you see here in the picture that actually lights up in the dark, I have the light off in the photo, but I used natural light coming through my window to make it look as if it was glowing. However, something even cooler is that since the object I used is translucent one can see the color reflected onto the carpet as red or green, not just a black shadow.
