		---Greetings from the Critique Club!---
 
 My first impression is that you probably got some low votes on the whole "is it a silhouette or is it a shadow" debate. Personally, I did not vote silhouette images any differently that shadow images, but I know some did.
 
 The thick black border is a little distracting. IMO lees is more on borders. The wrinkles in the backdrop are distracting. 
 
 The composition is good. I like the way the frame is filled. The diagonal line created by the hands and arms takes the eye across the whole picture. The red tones add a sense of scariness to the shot. Good choice on the color.
 
 I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
 
 David

		| This has a lot of potential.  What comes to mind is shadow plays, a la those things they have in Bali.  I think this would have been better if there was a story - perhaps meaning two people interacting in some way - making the shadow.  The light at the top is a bit distracting too. |

		| Seems like you are confusing silhouette with shadows... they are not the same.  Nice image, but your score may suffer due to the fact that there are no shadows. |

		| The only thing hurting this photo is your backdrop.  If it was ironed and stretched firm this photo would be very good. |
