Discuss photo: black shadow

You rack your balls for that one great shot!

And it comes out a bit blurry...

(You did know that SOMEONE was going to say that, right?)

And yes, I was that kid that put captions in all the year books.

As for the shadow. I'm assuming you're talking about the brown/tan mass, not the black mass. Since the black mass does not appear to be a shadow, but a solid object perhaps a stone.

Do you have this areas in photos from other angles?

I see a couple of spots that could be "black shadows" but they look like either a monument or a tree to me.

I see the black one, that appears to be a monument or head stone of some kind in the back ground.

As for the gray/tan mass just behind the stacked cannon balls, I enlarged the picture as far as I could without matrixing it out.

IMO, it appears to be a part of the tree in the background. It appears "disconnected" due to the cannonballs in the forefront, but if you follow the angle of the tree and the shading, you'll see that the trunk is partly showing just to the right of the top of the cannonballs... with a possible old limb that was cut off long ago as it appears weathered and rounded...

I don't see anything else though. Looks like a great picture for the album for that visit.

Have a great day!
