i got up one night in the wee hours, and the shadows cast were brillant, so i grabbed the camera and started shooting.
It took a while after messing with aperture, but i like the dark and distorted effect.

Out of focus...or the focussed object is lost in darkness? 4.

I enjoyed this one..very minimal leaving lots for our mind to fill in (which always works well for something mysterious like "darkness" )

Very intersting photograph. Shadows always invite speculation as to the object that casts them. That is the strength of this image.

There are some technical issues that will hold down the score of this composition. The shadow is really the main subject and most interesting element of the picture. It is unclear what the better focused items on the far left are and foreground are. Because of that they are a distraction and probably should either be removed from the composition or better highlighted so viewers can more easily identify and relate them to the main subject. The edge of the wall on the left does not add much to the composition either. You might want to consider a tighter crop of the image.

The concept is obvious, and well executed. The foreground objects on the right and bottom are distracting from it, however. I think you could have cropped these out without losing the interesting items: the shadow of the chair, and the soft reflections in the table. 7

like the idea but focus on shadow soft which makes me keep having to readjust my eyes to look at it. Could be my fault!

This image just grabbed me for some reason.
I gave it an 8 and it could have been a 10 if the right hand side had been trimmed off, but who am I to tell anyone what do do to a picture?:D

Would be more effective if the subject wasn't in the center.

This is a very beautiful, moving image, at least for me. I'd have called it "Gone". 8.
