		| | This is a very COOL shot. I'll always think of Zac as a Aztec sun dancer!!  very festive.If you look at It long enough,It made me think about how did he do that with his arm? |

		| | very nice shadow, but something bothers me about this shot. i think it's the texture of the background, mostly, which kind of cuts into the shadow and makes it look too sharp. i think the out of focus left side also bothers me a bit. a different crop might be nice, too, maybe moving the figure over to the left side to get rid of that soft focus and creating more negative space. overall, though, a nice shot. |

		| | This is in my top 5, I like the idea behind this shot, kinda reminds me of Peter Pan trying to catch his shadow.  It portrays a picture of someone leaping into the great unknown.  Wonderful fulfillment of hte challenge.  Score 8 --------- Corey |

		| | GREAT shadow!  Excellent contrast against the background as well... Only improvement that I could offer would be to possibly crop a little tighter maybe?  Good work! - jmsetzler

		| | After a couple of looks, all I can say is - great shot. Clean and artistic. Among the top for me. |

		| | Very nicely composed. I guess you would have taken a lot of eperimental shots before you finally entered this one!Texture int he front is I guess a little disturbing so may be a leseer DOF would have helped. |

		| | It just needs something more, but I still like it overall. I think it's the wall that I don't like. |

		| | Great idea and execution.  I would have loved to see the "dancer" at the top of the frame rather than the bottom. |

		| | I like the contrast and texture.  Would this high contrast have worked in color also? |

		| | I can't believe you were the only one to shoot a shadow like this, so you get high scores from me for creativity!  Very cool shot! |

		| | I really like this one. It reminds me of something I once saw in a magazine.  The texture of the surface that the shadow is projected on works very well. The shadow is very dark and well defined. I think I would like it better with a slight cropping from the left and the top, but that's just my personal taste. Very good job on this one. |

		| | Great idea - might have looked better if the camera had been stright on to the wall.  As it is, it looks like the left hand side is falling away. |
