CRITIQUE CLUB COMMENT:

This photo definitely has shadows so first and foremost I comment you for meeting the challenge. I really like the lit window in the darkest recesses of the building. The lighting on the back wall of bricks is very nice...lots of detail yet very dark and mysterious...shadowy (is that a word?). Unfortunately your shadow doesn't really look "human." In fact, I was wondering what it was that was casting the shadow but didn't think it was a person until I read your details. I think the shadow of yourself lacks something... A suggestion would be to perhaps reveal an arm or a more of a profile so we can clearly tell it is a person. Better still if your photo can tell a story somehow. Does the shadow have a knife in it's hand? Is it reaching for something? As it is, the shadow is just sort of there doing nothing and doesn't lead me to wonder too much about it. Another interesting idea is to have an actual person squatting in the darkest shadows of the recessed area where you can just barely make out their face as if they are waiting for someone to pass by as their next victim. That scene with that lighting and a person hidden away in the dark shadows could be really powerful. Again, nice job on the lighting...work on telling a story.

Poorly lit and not the best composition.

The burger looks disgusting but I do really enjoy the cats expression/face. That is what really makes this shot. Not sure how you did it but good job on the cat's reaction.

This picture really makes a statement and I love that about it. Unfortunately the photo itself isn't as appealing as I had hoped. What I THINK I see is a french fry in an ashtray posing as a ciggerette and that would be a powerful statement. However, there seems to be beads of water or something in the photo which makes me wonder if it is an ashtray or if I've missed the point. Is it a sink drain? If it was more clear that this was an ashtray I'd scored it much higher. Good luck. If you ribbon with it it will still be deserved.

I get it! Funny. At first I didn't get it but when I did I got a good chuckle. Don't think you'll score very well for this shot but thanks for entering it anyway.
