Here you go:
It can be viewed in the galleries here:
www.vertical-endeavour.com/gallery/drakensberg/featured-images/winter-2011/562-shadow-woman.html
The sun was behind the Old Woman and the buttress overlooking it, and projected their shadows onto the clouds - at least I think so, there might be a more technical explanation how this phenomenon occurs.
(I will modify the gallery thumbnail link for the forum messages so that they load a bigger image in future)

Very interesting image. I have seen many images of the shadows of peaks projected on low cloud below the viewer, however not to many of this kind of image. Well done.

Submissions are now closed! Number of ratings has picked up slightly, but could benefit from more. Currently there is a tie between Shadow Woman and Snow View (4.22 / 4 votes each). Get your ratings in guys!

Right, this round is officially closed. And the winner, with a weighted rating of 4.05, is:
drsnoobab's Winter Morning Glow. Congratulations!
Stijn's Cowl Pass, PeterHowell's Snow View, diverian's Icy Morning, and my own Shadow Woman, contesting a tight second place with 4.04...just couldn't get that decimal place up inspite of a higher number of ratings!
{joomplu:523 left} {joomplu:551 left} {joomplu:538 left} {joomplu:562 left}
Thank you all for playing, its been a memorable round with some great winter shots!
