I have thoroughly enjoyed Kim’s Just for Fun Shadows and Silhouettes Challenge and hate to see it end. I especially love the shadows cast by flowers, including the flowers of herbs. I have included a few more of my favorites here. Be sure to choose the one in each pair you like best.
I seem to get the best shadows when the flowers hang over a white sidewalk. That makes the shadows show up better. But walls also work, as you see in the mullein photo. It’s one of my personal favorites, even though the flower has dried. It reminds me of a particular animal. Can you guess which one?

Amazing flowers’ photos!!! Tansy & petinua are my favorites!!!
Thank you for taking my poll. The tansy was my favorite.
Typical beauty always has a distinctive shadow, too, and it’s in your photographs, Barbara
Thank you so much for your kind words, Albert.
Pleasure is mine, Barbara.
Barb, this is really kewl, thanks for telling me about this site (again as I’m sure I ignored you the first time) and wahoo, when I got off my smart phone and onto a real computer the CREATE button appeared, but I still haven’t figured out how to follow you.
Thank you, Ann. To follow someone, go to the top of their post page and click on their profile avatar on the left. That will take you to their profile page. Then click the circle with the three dots, top right, and you will see FOLLOW in the dropdown. I’m off to check yours right now.
Excellent directions, thank you.
Shadows are always interesting and help us play with our creativity. I also thought that the dried one looks like elephant.
I guess the top part looks a bit that way. But elephants would be much heavier, I think.
That’s a good point.
Loved them all but I chose Tansy & Sweet Williams.
Those were also my two favorites. The mullein is just for fun.
Thank you for participating in my poll. Glad you liked the flowers.
It is nice to distinguish which shadows are better than the others.
I was happy to see that most people really did choose what they liked best instead of just clicking the first choice on both. I know that because the first choice on both have been the least popular so far.
It was really nice to have such poll. It can determine which is best.
That’s useful. It lets me know which photos might be good to make products with at print-on-demand sites.
Love the shadows, and you are correct. The white back round really makes a difference doesn’t it. I think your dried flower looks like some alien ant type martian with a long nose like an elephant. What do you see?
The shadow looks like the alien. I see the dried plant as a rabbit.
lol, ah yes, I see it. It is sitting up in a begging position.
Exactly. I photographed this shortly before Halloween.
Mullein?
The Petunia is looks like the morning glory here.
Mullein is an herb that often grows wild. It actually has pretty yellow flowers which I may post separately. It’s a very tall plant with a tall flower spike. I photographed it after it died back because of the shadow. I was also letting it reseed. Petunias do look a bit like morning glories.
I have Petunia and I love them for a good smell.
You know, I don’t think I ever stooped low enough to smell a petunia. I’ll have to try it sometime.
