Series and Shunt diode Clipper Circuits

why in a series clipper diode circuit,during the forward biasing half cycle the voltage across the diode rises according to the input sinosuidal supply whereas in shunt type clipper diode circuit,during the forward biasing half cycle it stuck only to its barrier voltage level????

    do you observed total circuit clearly see the operation of diode and other components so you understand why it occur like that

    yes i observed circuit clearly,read different books but couldn't found a clear cut answer to my doubt.i observed that in a zener diode voltage regulator circuit,voltage at output remain constant since zener diode works in reverse biased form and it has a property to maintain a constant voltage across it in the expense of variation in current across it.but what happen to this property when it is placed in series in circuit.why it allows almost all the waveform to pass through it.i think there is not a very big concept behind this as it is not mentioned in books,may be a gap in my basic knowledge about circuits but please help me friends.
