Greetings from the critique club

What a creative use of shadows! I "Got it" at first glance, wouldnt recommend trying to make it more obvious as commented by some others.

Congratulations on well executed photograph. Thanks for sharing.

This is a really nice picture, but I wish you hadn't cut off the hands of the two girls on each edge. Other than that, it's a marvelous capture of summer at the beach. I love the blues and the stop-action on the water drops.

This is great! What a fun shot you have here. I'm sure it takes a lot of us back to the "good ol' days".

I like how you got this effect. Can you share your exposure settings and maybe a brief on the lighting setup?

Sorry, I missed it as well, I feel like a real goose. No excuses, I must have been rushing, but seeing as it is a shadow challenge I really should have had a decent look at the shadow. Prehaps a tighter crop might have made it easier for idiots like me.

I missed the shadow when I voted-very very sorry. That is great and I would have given it a 9 easily had I seen the shadow. I'm sure I'm not the only one or else this would have scored much higher.

ahhh shit, I didnt vote for this challenge, but to be honest... it took me a second to get it too. (dunno why, as it is very obvious and pretty damn cool) Its too bad pple have to go thru the photos so fast when voting, but i also understand why. With DPC its normally gotta be pretty obvious, unless the challenge is something like "visual pun" was. GREAT PHOTO though! I think cropping the image down might have made it a little more clear perhaps. I also would have added a little more lighting directly onto the fruit (from the top, to get rid of the harsh shadows coming from your main lightsource)
