Four images showing my favourite stand of trees with morning light hitting the trees but leaving the background in shadow. Ken

Three great S&S examples you’ve shared Doug, I particularly like the Eggshell Arch image. The Waterhole Canyon image is nicely captured and my favorite. The Upheavel Dome and the extending area beyond look very photographically interesting.

I can see why this stand of trees is a favorite location—my favorites among these beautiful images are the first and last. Nicely seen,

Ben, three beautiful images with interesting interpretations of sunlight and shadows. I particularly like the Monument Valley and Six Shooter Butte images—my favorites.

Rick, I love this sepia toned B&W image of this cemetery—definitely a sunlight and shadows image! Very nice.

Alan "The Watchman" if you could take a chainsaw to the half tree on the right this would be what AI would produce as the perfect landscape location and light. Ken

Gosh what a great idea - I always carry one with me in National Parks of course

Alan, great and varied examples of S&S you’ve shared—the Watchman is my first favorite (of course!) but the Crescent Bay image is a very close runner-up! The Painted Hills image is another interesting image with its shadows and the sunlit foreground—nice!

Here are a few - I was looking for examples where I felt the relationship between light and shadow was an important part of the image. Hopefully these work.
1) Bowman Lake sunshine spotlighting the larches on the south shore
2) Light shining through the Pfeiffer arch with the rest in shadow
3) Yosemite falls in full light with the valley floor and foreground in shadow
4) A racing rock in sunlight with the background in shadow

Beautiful examples for this week's theme Kyle––once again you never fail to impress. I love the tranquil feel of the Bowman Lake image––the reflection, colors and composition all comprise a faultless landscape. The Pfieffer arch image, an outstanding capture, is perhaps my favorite––but the Yosemite Falls is also a great candidate. Love its composition for the foreground shadows in blue which echo the sky above and off-center placement of the falls. The "racetrack rock" image works well with the stark contrast in sunlit foreground and shadowed mountains beyond.
A couple from me.

Jameel, two great images for this week’s task—beautiful light in your Monument Valley image, very nice. My favorite is the Death Valley sand dune with its elegant simplicity—remember this image for next week’s Thursday’s Task.
