Remember yesterday's post? Can you see that everything that was in the shadow pattern remains darker than anything in light? OK, there is that highlight on his ear but even that is not as light as the light areas. Thanks to those who left a comment yesterday! I think everyone guessed a dog and one person got St Bernard!
