I like how you had quite a different take on shapes by presenting shapes made by shadow. My critique on this piece is that I think you could have easily cropped off more negative space on the right. It does little to help with the composition overall and closely cropping it will help maintain the viewers focus on the main subject - the hands and the shadow on the wall. Also I would have liked to have seen the hands in sharper focus - the fingers on the hand in the forefront are slightly blurred. Another element that could help in improving this composition is the close down the aperature (if possible) to increase the depth of field such that the shadow is also in sharper focus.

Completely out of focus. Had the hands been further from the wall we'd be able to see the entire shadow. Great idea though.

Sorry, but this image is out of focus.
Nice idea, but you need check the image before you post it.

I think I see the eagle,but soft focus on the hands hurts this IMO.

I think the shadow should have better focus.

Which shape were you going for? The hands or the shadow? One or the other should be in focus. I would have said the shadow.

the fact that no part of this photo is in focus troubles me...I reckon the eagle reflection should have been pin sharp
