This is only my 2nd challenge... Just want to let you know that photography is not my hobby. I just want to have fun. I saw this shot as a reflection in my home, and thought I would submit it.

If light doesn't bounce off the object, how does the shadow come about? I disagree with your comment. I am not a professional photographer, nor do I take these challenges as seriously as most. Thanks for your comment though.

shadow not reflection

When shadows become reflections you let me know, and then I'll vote.

Kinda pushes the defintion of reflection. Beyond that the composition isn't that interesting. The lighting looks like a simple flash -- it needs more drama. The textured ceiling acts as a distraction, as well.

Creepy as hell. Is the dead deer possesed?

hrm... perhaps if the shaddow had been refelcted onto something, it would have met the challenge, but I don't think it does like this. Nice shadow work, however. Sorry that you'll have to endure thousands of "this doesn't meet the challenge" comments.

A good idea, different than all the others in this contest. Composure and lighting are great and you get extra point for being original. 9

I don't consider a shadow a reflection, and most painted walls are not reflective surfaces.

A shadow is not a reflection, sorry.

I never thought of using a shadow as a reflection. I prefer to see a real reflection with all the colors of the original object.
