I'm rarely focused on shadows while chasing spiders and insects and exploring the tiny details in nature around me, but sometimes, a shadow confidently enters the scene and steals the show.

In today's post, I'll show you a few tiny shadows I photographed in the early summer of 2024.
The one shown in the opening photograph is the entry for the contest, and ...

... and it was cast by the pistil of a flower. The scientific name of the plant is Romulea bulbocodium. The following photograph ...

... shows a fly seen through the leaf of one of the fig trees in my garden. The structure of the leaf looks great in the backlight.

This is the small leaf of the yarrow (Achillea millefolium). The leaf and its shadow.

Here, you can see the shadow of another leaf on the same plant.

I caught quite a few Achillea millefolium shadows on that occasion. The one shown in the following photograph ...

... is my favorite.
This spider and its shadow were resting on the long leaf of the reed. The name of the species is Nigma puella. It's a spider from the Dictynidae family.
The dark shadow is much easier to spot than the tiny green spider, well-camouflaged on the green surface.

Here, you can see the ornate shadow of the fennel plant that grows among the reeds.

This photograph shows a bit of the dry plant that has cast a shadow on the green foliage of a reed.

This is a planthopper; can't tell you the name of the species, seen through the leaf of the reed.
AND THAT'S IT. AS ALWAYS, HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.
Wow! These are all fabulous shadow photos!

Thanks. 🙂 Glad you like the post.
Love the seventh one, it wanna look like a centipede with many legs, the shape of the leaf just capture the moment.
True. 🙂 It's a great observation. If a centipede had been photoshopped into the picture instead of the leaf, it could have been a cool illusion. I'm too lazy to do it now ... but who knows, maybe once in the future, I'll try such an experiment ... thanks for the idea.
haha, but this looks like one though, one could know its not only with close observation
Beautiful! Sometimes, the shadow is even prettier than the subject.
True 🙂
bellas sombras que lograstes captar aunque a mi de las que colocastes la mejor es de al araña esa yo es la que hubiera puesto
