Duo Dog

Love the way the dog is facing, and how the 'dunes' are spread out to portray a sense of 'territory out there to explore'.

Amazing how the tiny specs of snow have shadows, as well as some of the fur.

The photo matches very well with its title theme.

Even though the lady's hair/dress aren't "shadows", they look like them :)

Love the sharp outline of her hand - how'd u get that?

The columns on the right does portay the sense that this is possibly outside a courthouse...

Nice concept. The black & white ones cause confusion though, as one makes you think its a shadow, and the somewhat blends into the background.

Leaves and Their Shadows

Like how the outline of the shadow matches the look of the rocks.

Perhaps the leaves to the right weren't needed. Without them it looks like a nice painting :)

Wow, nice impact.

OVerall, very well forumlated. Everything fits together perfectly to deliver the desired singular message!

Shadow of Childhood

Like the rustic, down-to-earth look.

Makes you feel like you want to go back in time, and pick up the ball.

Focus is great. Would be nice if the foreground rocks/etc coud be more out of focus, but that might've been really hard. Would be interesting to see the exif data.

Wow! I love it :)

Rather than the 'light' being the theme of the image, its the shadows!
Just what's called for in this challenge!

The backs of the trees being so dark, and the grass having strong shadows help.

Good job keeping the focus on the shadow - it almost looks like a trench.

One nitpick - It would better if the shadow started from the coner of the image...
**scratch that**** diagnoal from the corner usually works as the 'theme' is what the diagnoal leads the eyes to.
In this case, the theme *is* the diagonal shadow (or its part of the theme), instead of the tree it leads to.

So its better the way you left it.

Nice :)

Some more levels of depth/variation would help.

Even for the singular pattern of shadows, the uniformity doesnt show through... there are breaks in the shadows from the 4rd column on, that take away from the singularity of the theme.

Shhh!

The shadow needs some more contrast to draw the eyes towards it at first, not as an afterthought.
Could this be sharpened in photoshop?

Some cropping to put the shadow closer to the middle might also help.

Good concept!
