Sahdows, color and texture
Fit: Clearly meets the challenge 1

Aesthetics: Well composed, aesthetically pleasing 2
Simple but effective with the blue of the wood really acting as a great backdrop
Technical: Technically OK 1
This is let down by a lack of detail in the latch, padlock, hasp and handle where the shadows are too dense
Wow: Real impact 2
As an image this one caught my attention straight away

Took me a while but I finally got it! RIPâ€Â¦
Aesthetics: Well composed, aesthetically pleasing 2
Aside from the use of the fruit and vegetables to make the shadow of the mask of death, this could be a really good still life and the curve of the shadow is superbly handled.
Technical: Evidence of technical mastery/wizardry 3
I really cannot find fault with this
Wow: Real impact 2
Because it took me a while to see the face I had to mark it down a little :-)

Very well thought through idea
Aesthetics: Well composed, aesthetically pleasing 2
Leading lines, rule of thirds, catch-lights - yep, all there!
Technical: Technically OK 1
I think that the xecution lets this image down as there is not enough detail in the ball and its shadow for me.
Wow: Real impact 2
A strong image just let down a little for me in terms of the too heavy shadow on the ball.

Fun but the central positioning of the main shadows doesn't quite work for me.

For all of its faults this is still afun picture that made me smile.
