Assalam o alaikum.

Hello my steemit friends i hope you are doing well and enjoying life. I am very happy to take part in this interesting and different contest called “Shadow Play.” I really enjoyed thinking deeply about shadows and also taking creative pictures. This contest made me look at shadows in a new way. They are not just dark shapes but they also tell something about us.

What do you think when you see your own shadow?

When i see my own shadow i feel amazed. I think it’s something magical. It follows me everywhere but it never talks or makes a sound. It is always with me like a silent friend. Sometimes i looking at my shadow and smile. It reminds me that i am not alone. I also thinking that shadows are like the truth. They don’t lie. They show our real shape. If i stand straight the shadow is also straight. If i raise my hand the shadow does the same. It makes me feel that we should also try to live a truthful life just like the shadow shows the truth.

Do you see your shadow even once a day?

Yes i see my shadows at least onced every day. In the morning when i go outside the sunlight shows my shadow on the grounds. Sometimes it looks tall and funny. In the afternoon my shadow becomes short. I also see it at home when i stand near a light. It falls on the wall or the floor. Even when i don’t notice it the shadow is always there. It is part of me. I just need light to see it. This reminds me that even in life we all have shadows—our past our thoughts our feelings—and we can learn from them.

Self-reflections tries to awaken people's conscience. What do you think about this?

I thinks this is very true. Self-reflections means to sit quietly and thinking about our actions our mistakes our goods habits and our bad habits. It is likes looking at our owns shadow—not the body shadow but the shadow of our thoughts and behaviors.

When we reflect we ask ourselves important questions like:

Did I speak kindly today?

Did I help someone today?

Am I being honest with others and myself?

This helps us to becomes better people. It wakes up our conscience. The consciences is like a small voice inside us that tells us what is rights and what is wrong. Sometimes we don’t listened to it. But when we sit and thinking that voice becomes louder. It tells us to change to improve and to be kind. I believes that everyone should take a few minutes every day for self-reflection. It gives peace to the hearts and helps us grow.

How did you like this contest? Let me knows if you think i should run this contest again in the futures.

I really liked this contest. It was different from the usual topics. It made me think creatively and deeply. I also had fun taking shadow photos. I took pictures of my hand shadow my walking shadow and one where i made a heart shape with my fingers. I tried to capture simple but meaningful shadows. This contest also made me learn something new—that shadows can be beautiful emotional and powerful. They are not just dark shapes but a way to see ourselves. Yes i think you should definitely run this contest again. Many people will enjoy it. It teaches photography and also gives a chance for self-thinking. Next time maybe we can try “Shadow and Nature” or “Shadow in the Evening.” I am sure everyone will take part with happiness.

Thank you so much for organizings this lovely contest. I had a greats times taking part in it. It helped me express my thoughts enjoy photography and also learn something new about myself. I will now look at shadows with more love and respect. They are part of us and they teach us silently.
