    Shadows on snow make a perfect monochrome. I really like the delicacy of those seedheads.

    That shadows appear as lace. It's another beauty.

    Wonderful picture with light and intersting shadows!

    Thanks for your comment, but I thought not creative, I had only in the right moment the camera, I came from a walk and saw this funny snow carpet.

    The snow makes a very pretty back ground,
    The sun light making the shadows gives a lovely calming effect.

    I think this one is quite unique and that you didný need to do many chances on the original photo to show the beauty of those shadows on snow.

    Interesting use of the shadows. Well done.

    That's the way I appreciate snow, pure when no one has yet trodden on it, intact. I let you imagine how it becomes in Paris.

    These shadows are so fine.

    The shadows are perfect. It's amazing what you can do with a simple clump of dried out vegetation.

    Love those snowy shadows. And if there are shadows, that means there is SUNSHINE!!! YAY!!!

    The word that comes to mind is "quiet". I guess it's the nature of snow to absorb sound or something, but it always seem to be almost deathly quiet after a snowstorm. And if a photo can capture that, this one would be the one.

    Peaceful, pretty, makes me think I could almost like snow. Not quite, but almost.

    So many of your readers have said this already... but it's true... the snow is a perfect surface to show off a great shadow!

    Bright white = nice shadow.

    Great photo.
