Greetings from the Critique Club:

I have to start by saying I'm very surprised this didn't do better in the competition. I think it's a very creative shot with great technical aspects and fits the challenge perfectly. In any case, on with the critique.

Composition:
The positioning of the diagonal lines from the blinds is excellent as they lead the eye to the subject of the shot. The position of the subject at about the golden position is also very good and has a nice balance for the shot. Great job.

Camera Work:
Great work with the multiple exposures to find the one that fits the best...hard to say anything else here since everything is a shadow.

Post-processing:
The level of the shadows is great...it's a little odd that your shadow seems darker than the blinds (must be white blinds that don't totally block the light). Overall brightness is very good except for the slightly hot spots under your chinand above your head. I think bringing down the highlights a little would've helped even that out some.

Looking through the results, it seems that most of the high rated shots involved both the shadows and what cast them. My suggestion for the future would be to put as much interest in the shot as you can...while technically this shot was quite good, I feel it's lacking something to draw the viewer in and keep them interested.
