Mmarked high because these images are so hard to capture - unless you are an astronomer with the right gear. If so, take 2 off for being too clever :-)

These are silhouettes and not shadows but I aqm not sure this is a full-blown DNMC

This is a really good shot even though I do not believe it meets the challenge

So well captured tonally

If I thought that this really met the challenge then I would have scored it much higher.

On their way
Fit: Clearly meets the challenge 1

Aesthetics: OK composition 1
The number of curves in the image sems to confuse rather than underpin the central massage of the picture. Also may benefit from cropping out some of the bottom of the image and maybe a little of the left edge too.
Technical: Technically OK 1
Feels too under-exposed in the shadows and not enough contrast for me
Wow: Has some impact 1
Just too much going on for the image to come through.
