Five-O’Clock Shadow
Bozeman, Montana
2011
This photo was actually taken several weeks ago when a five o’clock shadow would have been much longer due to the shorter days. A five o’clock shadow today might look like this except that all the recent snow has buried these cattails under a couple feet of snow.
Spectacular! I really like one with its subtle variations of “white”. The brighter spots are just in the right places.
Really one of the best shots that I have seen on your blog.
Thanks Frank and Betty. It’s interesting to get such enthusiastic comments on photos like this one, which I was somewhat ambivalent about myself. It gives me reason to go back and look at the image to see what I might have missed. Not that I want other people’s opinions to influence my own, but sometimes they cause me to take a more critical look at an image from a different perspective and gain (or not) a new appreciation for it.
