A shadow of the man he is 

Bright, sunny days are a dream for taking pictures.

Shadows and light add depth, drama and intrigue to a photo.

In the photo, a qwurky man demonstrates to a group of one the shadows sharp edges and the luscious elongation of his digit.

For just a moment, he seems to be containing his shadow; protecting it from the brightness of the sun.

While doing so, he shortens the distance between man and the wall by connecting himself to both sides of his shadow.

Enough of the lesson.

No matter!

The bottom line is: you can have all sorts of fun with natural elementals.
