A cracking shot Rosa...........captured at the perfect moment. You must have lightning reflexes! I like both versions, but the B/W shot shows of the shadow on the wall much better!

The first in shadow, but well detailed, the second between light and shadow, but well detailed again ,,,, and a magnificient shadow on the wall. A extraordinary sense of movement.
Great, great moment very well captured and composed, I particulary appreciated it !!
All the best

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to photosofghosts club
Thank you for your very kind appraisal dear Fabio. The spring sunshine has returned, so I was delighted with the shadow....and the sun :) I could not make my mind up as to which I preferred but, like you. I feel the b&w version is stronger.

All the best, Rosa.

P.S. the coloured one is beautiful, too but I prefer the one in b/w for its strong contrasts and the care of the edition of the birds in flight.

Thank you Sarah. Yes it is two, but the third is a shadow of the second....if that makes sense ;-))

OH Rosa, I hope you know I was being silly there when saying I had "double vision" on that "3rd" bird! OF course the third is a shadow !! best wishes, Sarah

So much better in B&W, Rosa. And of course there are 3. ;-)
These birds remind of a time about 10 years ago when 2 young jackdaws came down our living room chimney and created havoc, spreading soot everywhere. We've since had proper pot protectors on all of our pots, even only3 chimneys are working.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Amelia club
Gosh, those are big birds to get down your chimney!! I used to notice them on the chimney of the house opposite building their nest! They too have now installed pot protectors!

Hi Rosa,

This is a wonderful picture, and very cleverly done. I like it very much!!
Now to answer the riddle...

Let A = B
(A * B) = (A * A)
(A * B) - (B*B) = (A*A) - (B*B)
(A -B) * B = (A - B) * (A + B)
B = (A + B)
Let A = 1 => 1 = 1 + 1 ie 1 = 2
Since 1 = 2 => 1 + 1 = 2 + 1 => 2 =3
So, you have the same number regardless of how you classify them!!

Best Wishes
Peter

It would be nice if it were three, Rosa, as that would remind me of a traditional Scottish song. Cheers, Joe

If only I knew the tune, I would sing it Joe. LOL! I might need a translation though!

So belated comment but I was off for about a fortnight !
Deeply impressed by this so clever capture turned into a very intense and marvellous art work!
The coloured one is a beauty but I Love more this B&W one. I mean I feel a much deeper emotional impact.
Ciao Rosa !
