This is not a new photo, but might give ideas for those who have lawns and lawn ornaments 
The metal flamingo was hanging on my storage room door on my balcony. One day I noticed the angle of the sun gave it a humorously large and distorted shadow.

"Does this shadow make me look fat?"

The shadow on the pure white background makes it look like a black and white photo. The color of the flamingo gives the appearance of "selective color". I like this a lot.

Appreciated, Jim! My original interest in light and shadows came from a year-long black and white film class in 1990. I remember putting a small decorative glass vase on my table, resting a flashlight beside it aimed at and through the glass and taking the pic. Low tech setup Thanks Linda. Gives me the idea for some strong shadows. Great idea.

Send me your original picture PM if you would I would like to try a couple of things to remove the door color. If they work like I think I will walk you through the steps. The idea I have take only 3 to 4 steps.

Alas, that was taken in 2015 and all pics from that year are gone (don't ask; it's too depressing to share). But thank you. When we have another bright sunny day I'll recreate the scene Send me your original picture PM if you would I would like to try a couple of things to remove the door color.

Enjoyed your image Jim. Good choice of b/w and love the drama of the light reys. Very creative. Bev

Good idea for the times. A camera group I belong to has been shooting the alphabet, not just finding the letters, and being a nature group, I have tried to shoot nature subjects. Not as easy as it sounds as I try not to do snapshot but try to produce something I really like to view. I like the black and white of this shot. Very cool.

OK. This is a shot of a couple of U-haul boxes on a bedroom floor illuminated by a south-facing window with venetian blinds.
