Thank you friend.

Hi @melinda010100, thank you for hosting this fun contest! I mentioned your name and this contest in my post, hope more Steemians will join it. =) Here's my entry:

I clicked this picture of the cute kitten one afternoon when I was strolling a street in Kotor of Montenegro. Used to be a Mediterranean port, Kotor is also known for its large amount of cats all over the streets. There's even a Cats Museum dedicated for these little creatures. If you love cats, don't miss the chance to check out this museum when you visit Kotor!

Thanks for supporting the contest and for your cute entry! The museum sounds like fun!

I found an Abbey shadow!!! Not the greatest photo, but I had to share it because you wanted one. :)IMG_1599.jpg

Awww!! Thank her for me! I'm so glad to have her be part of animal shadows!

I wonder why her shadow looks so great but mine looks so stretched out....strange how that happens. I guess I was having a bad shadow day ..... lol

Hello, Melinda! Another great contes here. 🙂I like to photograph shadows, especially when they are elongated on the street. Maya is always my model. Here is my entry into the contest.

Nicely done!! Thanks for entering it!

Hello @melinda010100

IMG_20180217_134851.jpg

This animal I photographed in one of the caves in Aceh, Indonesia. By @munawar87

I had to come back a second time before I saw the Shadow! He hides it well! 😃

I love watching pelicans every day on beach, especially the time when they are hunting fish! Btw. This is meditating Johny :))
Thank you Melinda for this amazing contest;) @melinda010100

IMG_20170805_145233.jpg

He has a name! That is quite the pose!

He is quite smart boy.. I just said: "strike a pose, Johny" and he made it;)

Wax on, wax off...

Thank you for another great contest!! My animal shadow entry is of this Arctic wolf, taken in the October of 2017 on my trip to Banff National park. As to the comment of possibly unable to support the contest, perhaps just having it as a game with no prize, just credit and fun? Either way prize or no prize at stake, I would gladly continue participating.
DSC_9389.JPG

Wow! A wolf shadow! Very cool. And thanks for your kind words of support! I have enough SBD saved up so that I can award prizes for a couple more weeks!

He has a big shadow! Thanks for entering!

All the entries in this contest are special, I think it will be hard to choose. Here are my first participation and posting.

This dog was running so fast was hard to focus on him but his shadow came out cool, kind of like a Kangaroo !

Ha! I could see a kangaroo there! Thanks for this entry!

My lovely shadow ❤️ My dog named "Hund" that is always beside me so I love to call him shadow... When the night falls and there is snow outside he moves like a beautiful, huge, elegant shadow . Although he looks very tough he is just a sweet little cuddling puppy. Thank you Melinda for this contest it's so much fun and I love the artistic spirit that it brings and all the originality in people's photos! And good luck to all !

What a handsome boy...And a great shadow! Thanks for entering!

Handsome Doberman with a terrific shiny coat!

Thank you! ❤️

White-Nosed Coati from Cozumel (Mexico). You can find him only there. He is so cute.

I agree! Very cute! Thanks for entering him!

I didn't think I had an entry for this week, but it turns out I did! I ran into this little kitten in Argentina a few years ago. I love the shadow he cast.

Awww! That is a great big shadow for that little guy!

Hi Melinda, thank you so much for picking my shot as one of the winning photos in the previous round! :)) I was really excited when I learnt the new theme is animal shadows as I love taking photos of the wildlife but after a thourough look into my archives, I found out few of my wildlife shots actually have shadows in them :D :( So this is the most "shadowy" image I found... a little crabby on a beach in Mexico :) Hopefully it counts...

IMG_20171109_125018.jpg

It certainly qualifies!! And claw shadows! I don't think I have ever seen claw shadows!

Cool, thanks! :) Yeah, I think there wont be too many claw shadows in this contest :D I just love crustaceans, this is my pet blue crayfish Claude:

U5drEk2KP7qLCBDTBwQ1DjQZN5RDbuE_1680x8400.jpg

Claude is quite handsome! How does one care for a crayfish?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

They are very easy to care for :) Just put them in a big fish tank and feed them anything from raw vegetable to common fish food once a day ;)

I just have a tiny little 8 gallon tank with two fish in it. I think they like living alone!

I believe they do haha :)) These crayfish get pretty big, up to 9 in :)

Hello @melinda010100 and all steemians ....Thank you for the contest...

_IGP3899.JPG

i took this picture a long time ago with my Pentax K20D in Izmir...

Such an interesting shot! Thanks for entering!

What a cute little guy! Thanks for entering!

I hope this one qualifies, I couldn't find a larger shadow.

Ha! There is no size limit! Thanks for entering!

Hello @melinda010100! Thank you for hosting this contest. I really wanted to join in this week's contest. Here is my entry. https://steemit.com/shadowphoto/@gingbabida/monkey-shadow

Great shadow shot! Thanks for entering your monkey shadow photo!

Whoa! I almost missed this category and I've been waiting for it?
Here's my entry

Here's a clue.

Now that is a unique animal shadow!! Thanks for entering it!!

I took this shot a few days ago here on the beach on bali. a few dogs playing together in the sunset.

P2182085.jpg

Those look like very happy dogs! Thanks for entering!

Another fun theme. My entry definitely captures my dog's personality, though I will admit that it would have been better to have the shadow of that tongue in the shot.

bub-shadow-2.jpg

Oh, the tongue would have made it perfect and then some! Thanks for entering!

It is my Yeanling...
Minimum after 10 click i can capture this photo. He is so busy and very difficult to stooped at a place for a moment But i success....

Nicely done!! Thanks for entering!! (yeanling?)

Ya, it's name is kalu...

Hi Kalu! Yeanling is not an English word. Yearling means one year old, is that what you meant?

It a little got and it's around one years old.Kalu meaning - Its color is Black and the bengali meaning of Black is Kalo. Thats why i called it kalu!

Kalo is the perfect name!

Beautiful bird, but I don't see her shadow. This contest is for shadows....Look at the other entries to see what I mean.

I was going to reply also about Tim and Sue, some wonderful work they do, the poster should have provided a source for the pictures.

I reported him/her to @steemcleaners but they didn't do anything about it.

Animal shadows this week! Sorry!

This contest is for shadows.

I love this contest! I still don't have an entry, but I will if I find one. Thank you @melinda010100 for hosting this. 😊😊

Can't wait to see your entry!!😃

Mantap bang

I just don't have the shadow thing in me. I've tried to come up with stuff....to no avail. Just letting you know I support your shadowphoto contest!

Your support is seriously appreciated. Each week I wonder if I am going to be able to continue to afford to hold another contest! But....I was really hoping to see an Abbey shadow this week!😃

Yesterday was a perfect shadow day and on purpose I went out to catch those long shadows that the sun casts just before sunset. But....things didn't go as planned!!! I do have a shadow of Abbey and I but it's not that great. So, support is one thing I can do :)

Keep a look out on sunny days...And again thanks for your support!

You know, as I go around looking at posts, I see so many shadow photos....it's funny. I didn't notice them before.

I'm not the only one who likes shadows!😉

          Do the finger bunny thing against a wall. She didn't say it had to be a real animal. I would put my hand bird shadow up, but my wife took the picture not me, I only have two hands, and both were kind of busy making the flying bird. Or you could take one of your stuffed animals, (I know you have at least one), and pose it and take a picture of its shadow on the wall. See easy peesy.

Thank you for the advice. I think Mel said no hand shadows allowed though. A stuffed animal sounds good.

Glad I did not do my hand shadow thing then.

That's okay if you did, I would have hid your embarrassment. :) How? I don't know....maybe do one also . :)

Hi @melinda010100 For Kontes shadowphoto

My Flower and antt this photo

Lovely photo, but you need to be showing an animal SHADOW! You can delete this entry and try again if you have an animal shadow photo.

Melinda this butterfly is so beautiful. Great picture

Thank you, my friend!

I seem to over look shadows.. lol...
Will look harder for animal shadows this week... CC must have one! ;)
And if I don't come back with one, I too raise my hand up in support of your shadows contest! :D

You are marvelous, my friend! Thank you. And start looking for shadows! 😉

This contest is for original content meaning a photo you captured. The one you've entered is not yours. I found it on the web at https://twitter.com/unilad/status/747000932458696704

Again, thank you!!!

Anytime Mel. Seriously. I don't mind at all. Have a good night....it's beddy byes for me :)

Sweet dreams, dear Deborah! I owe you!

That appears to be more of a reflection photo than a shadow? Is this an original photo that you took yourself?

Your photo is not original @rahmisorayaa. You need to use your own work or you can be flagged for plagiarism. https://theplanetd.com/spectacular-south-africa-wildlife-photos/

It's impressive how you watch for fairness. How did you find posting a plagiarism?

Usually I have seen the poster's blog or other work before and something will look different. Most people have a signature to their work.

Also, I may have seen the photo elsewhere. Good question @bluemoon.

Well, I see it's based on good memory, congratulations!

You have some great ideas for shadows and you have some great entries already too!

Thanks!! I love seeing the shadows that are entered!! There are so many great ones!

Hello @melinda010100 I really like your posts, I hope you keep posting other interesting things.

greetings from me @riziqasshiddiq do not forget to stop in my posting

Hello,

The rules of this challenge clearly state that plagiarism is not permitted.
We have found that the above image may have been copied from:
https://www.whatsthatbug.com/2008/11/24/giant-water-bug-from-brazil/

Not indicating that the content you copy/paste including images is not your original work could be seen as plagiarism.
Here is a post on why this is bad, and here is how easy it is to find allowed photos.

If you are the photographer please reply and let us know!

Thank You,

TIP: You can edit any tag but the first!

More Info: Abuse Guide - 2017.

Can't help with the identification. It's a great photo, but does not qualify for the contest. This week is about animal SHADOWS.

You need to use original photos taken by you, not copied from somewhere. This photo is not yours and you could be flagged for plagiarism. Just a friendly warning as I see you are new. You might want to read the information from this site to help you. https://www.steemithelp.net/

If you guys see that it has been plagiarised, why won't you just flag it then?
Not just dropping it for steemcleaners.
If the creators of content took responsibility and took care of plagiarism on their contests by flagging them, it would be very much appreciated :-)

Actually, @patrice is the one who told me to not flag. Firstly, because my steem power wouldn't do much and secondly, there are spam farms on Steemit....which means if you flag one with a lower rep then you a bunch of others who are connected to that one you flagged will come and flag you into a bad place. Steemcleaners job is to check these out.

Thanks for the idea though. :)

It's possible but these users that apply to photo contests seem to mostly just be petty scammers.
Anyhow, I think that contest creators should always check up each single photo submitted to their content for plagiarism. It may take quite a work but it can be quickly done with Google reverse image search.
If it takes to much work, you could delegate someone to check them up for you.

That's what @melinda010100 did. She asked me. And like I told you @patrice told me to let @stemcleaners handle it.

Thanks for your concern.
