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

Blue vase with rose and shadow

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.

one earth ... same shadows ...

GREAT concept. But the map doesn't work; it's too sketchy and blurred. And the light is too blown out, making the glare from the white background drown out the color of the pins. I think you missed an opportunity by placing the pin on our global "hot spots".

Contrast

Sorry, this isn't working for me. There is way too much contrast, so the delicate lines on the facade - which would make for great detail - are hard to see. Also, I don't feel it shows much of a "shadow", even though there are areas of darkness.

Hmmmm. Shadow. Not Reflection.

Very interesting "specimen", but I feel that IT is the subject of this shot, and the shadow is incidental.

Great humor, nicely done. A bit overenthusiastic with the saturation/sharpness.
