Very nice HDR subject here, and well done. Cool in large, and cool on black. Don't know why, but it's not posted in large on black. Regardless, haven't we all seen something like this in a dream?

April 22, 2007 HDR Chiller (shadow)

Green Grass and Shadows HDR-24, originally uploaded by barnp. Click on pic, see it in Flickr.

This search word came up with way more HDR images that I predicted (1,687 pics, and no, I did not look at them all...that's not part of the game). I chose this pic as the day's Chiller, but their were many pics along the same lines (like this or this). I have concluded that many folks must be driven to capture shadows like this for some reason, a fact supported by the photographer's quote on the Flickr page: "This had some nice shadows on the ground." To each, his/her own.

I am finding that my internal reaction to the various Chiller selections runs the gamut from disdain to laughter. For this one, it's somewhere around a yawn.
