As Ahab searches for his whale .... but where is his shadow? The harsh shadow across his back should be noticeable on the ground! Is this a composite?

One of the best I've seen so far in this challenge. Great job. I love the mood in this one.

Strange ... no shadows on the ground ... it'd be more surreal without the shadows on the body. Fantastic sky.

makes me think of the beach as the straws have that beach towel stripped look. Very summery!

Well that is different. Points for creativity and technically excellent.

Good idea, but hasn't quite worked in execution. The central composition is, frankly, very boring and I can't really see the point of having used a lime and a kiwi. The idea of the coloured straws for the background was a brilliant one, and it works well, although I might have been inclined to line up the bendy bits as they are a bit distracting being all over the place. This would be worth a reshoot playing with different compositions.
