Although the objects portrayed here are interesting in themselves and worth a look, it's the shadows I find fascinating. The one on the left exists in its own space, while the rest appear to form a community. Also, I like the surface lines which contrast dramatically with the freeform shapes sitting on them.

Hi Jack,

 

this is an image that I really like a lot; its simplicity in composition, light and color has a calming effect. The leaves could be koi indeed, the grey surface could be water. The arrangement is playful, not something I see in a lot of your photos, although it is far from unorganized. The long shadows are magnificent. Kind regards, Vincent

Hello dear Jack: Domo Arigato gosaimashita for sharing this "Nature in levitation". IMHO one of the most artistic, uplifting images, conveying inner peace and quietness. Reminds me of Edgerton's experiments of "freezing/stopping" grades of time to it's minimum...let's leave this at nanoseconds. Relaxing: An elegant Waltz on the Renaissance dancing floor, taken from the ceiling-covered by frescoes from the XVII century......or Nature's Chess game where all pieces move at once. A most respectful and heartfelt wish for a happy weekend.DG

It's hard to follow three very good comments like those above, they have made excellent observations. I like the simplicity and peace of the image Jack. It's not busy and allows the viewer to relax and concentrate on the subjects. Well done................Best Always, Holger

Love this ,simple and very effective
