Ganesh,

I tried to understand the description and read it many times. It is just going over my head Can you please elaborate it? What do you mean by 'casting the shadows' here?

Adithya, I meant, "Nature" encompasses everything. There is no "surface" on which "Nature" can cast its shadows, other than on (or within) our own minds. Indirectly I was hinting at these thoughts about "Nature" in general. Is that clear?

Deep image for me. At one level Random patterns but then again is it "really" Random ...also the shadow is to the leaf as the yellow patches are to the white ...my mind sees patterns when there is none ...we have the compulsion to fit it into a pattern ...explain it...and store it ....so we can use less brain in another context

Now I understand the philosophy behind the image. But, yet to relate it to the image.

Intriguing compo n subtle use of patterns!, Ganesh. Raj has said the rest
Regards.
