I don't see a shadow, but I've always noticed (and appreciated) what I
interpreted as a wind contrail going left and slightly up from the tip of
the Chrysler building. One of the many minor touches that gives the image
atmosphere and realism, but it's subtle and I've never been sure if that's
what it is.

The wet bird facinated me and drew me to POV-Ray. Many people take it to be
a photo. I recently purchased a large print from Zazzle and it looks great!
