It's easy if you look at the photograph... look at the photograph... look at the photograph :) It's not hard to do :)

Yup.. the photographer could have done this, but not in this photograph :)

For the record, I disagree with jmsetzler. When voting, how do you know that the submitter didn't actually airbrush a shadow on to a wall and then set up the shot and take a picture? What if beagleboy "lied" in his "Photographer's Comments" and said exactly that: "I spent the better part of a day tracing my shadow on to the wall and then airbrushed on a dark shade of gray where my shadow would be so it could appear I was touching up my shadow." Would that have made this a better picture? Would you "know" that he wasn't telling the truth? Obviously doing it in "post" is easier, but so is handling your finances with Quicken instead of paper and pencil, or typing and spell-checking a paper in Word instead of using a typewriter and a dictionary. But using Quicken or Word is what you do in the 21st century.

As long as a photograph appears as though it could have been "taken straight from the camera", it most likely maintains photographic integrity in my book.

To solve your paint pot problem, turn this image to B&W. It actually screams for black and white if you ask me. Very fun idea, congratulation for the win!
