I can't immediately tell if this is a shadow or not.

Need to zoom out a bit on this one. If you hadn't said what it was I would still be scratching my head.

The blown highlights on the beard, nose, and cheekbone are distracting. Good composition. Interesting shot.

Great repetition of lines and textures, with wonderful highlights popping up here and there.

I like the little rainbow, I guess it would better be called lensbow. Nice effects.

I was actually trying to make something which would work as a neutral-density filter. I figured I could focus the camera on the distant subject, and that the dots/lines in the filter would be so OOF that they'd disappear -- there's been a recent discussion of this effect in a thread about shooting animals through cage bars. Obviously, it only partially works.

I work in the printing industry, where I'm used to turning images into halftone screens -- clear film with a pattern of dots which simulates the original photograph.

I have some pieces of film with different types of densities and patterns -- I'll have to see what effects they can produce.
