Shadows in your compositions?

Is there ever a right time for a shadow in your pictures? Can you uses them to lead your eyes? Or are they a distraction? Say for instance a lone tree in a farmers field in winter, the sun is casting a shadow of the tree, so you position yourself so that the shadow starts from the top left hand corner of the frame. With the shadow of the tree and the tree in frame it would look like it was 11:50 or 11:55 on a square clock. Shadow( big hand) and tree( little hand).

Yes, I use shadows in some of my pics. To create mood, to tell a story, etc. Check my gallery for a pic. called the boxer. (example).
