This is a cool effect you're going for, and I have a small tweak to suggest that might help you. I tried to do it for you and can't post the link as this site blocks links in initial reviews, but if you respond to this review I can send you a link after. Alternately, you can very easily clean up the image yourself at "remove dot bg", (replacing "dot" with ".") or any of the other dozens of sites that do this. Then you can use your image on any colored background you like, and it should show up nicely.

Thanks for a cool read,

Great presentation with the white representing the clouds and the black representing the shadows...

The meaning, to me, that both can be beneficial is a great message.

Thanks for the detailed answer info about the Tanks form.

Ahh, there you are! I've so missed your poetry and its originality.

The cumulous cloud shadows an oasis as it floats before the sun.

Beautiful! Best, JohnC

I love this and really appreciate the two varied components that compare and contrast the clouds and shade. Well done, Shelley and I know it will do well in the contest!

Out of sixes. I remember as a little girl, playing outside in the summer. Running under tree shade, moving with the shadows. I used to count the seconds until a fat cloud would push in front of the sun. This took me back. All I needed was a drink from the hose. Lol. Gretchen

Well done. Your first two lines definitely made me envision the bright blue sky and the cotton ball cloud, and I love how it turns from beauty to function so seamlessly. Excellent job!
