Original idea, but shot from a higher angle would have give this a cleaner, more powerful background.

Beautiful blue, nice dramatic lighting, but the subject looks blurred to me.

Nice composition. Not sure why it isn't as strong as it should be. More dramatic lighting? More contrast? Perhaps in B/W, although I love the blue rim.

So close! A less complicated background or jacket would have improved this adorable shot.

I love the shape of the roofline, but find the dark central object distracting, and the colors overblown.

Blue vase with rose and shadow

Comment:
I LOVE this! Excellent colors, love the stars in the nubs, the shadow is so very prominent. Great work. To be nitpicky, the lighting is just a bit overblown on either side. But really, the only thing keeping me for giving it a 10 is the proportion. The elongated shadow above the vase gives it an odd vertical dimension to my (newbie) eyes which is unpleasant.

Although this is definitely a shadow, there is nothing focused in this shot.

This shot is for me equal parts light and shadow, instead of just Shadow. And the "shadow" is more of a reflection. Beautiful shapes and movement, but doesn't quite fit the challenge for me.

Great idea. Needs better lighting.
