This is an idea that I have had in my head for about 10 years after being inspired by photography shadow work of Faithwalker on deviantART. It was not until I saw and read GIS_boy's The Caped Crusader Within that I had an idea on how to accomplish it. I never got around to it until now.

Thanks to my loving husband who got up with me early Sunday morning to get the shot. I only had 30 minutes before the sun would peak up over the neighbor's roof and ruin the lighting.

Mondays - we drag ourselves out of bed and get dressed for work. We may have grown up, but our inner child still wishes to 'break' free and play. Or maybe - we are bogged down with duty and responsibilities that we have forgotten how to play. Play, is nothing more than a shadow.

How did I get the shadow? Here is a hint

Great concept, black and white works very well. Wonder why you cropped off his face - a slightly lower angle would have worked wonders I assume. Since the light comes from almost the opposite direction as what the fake shadow suggests, a shoot at another time of the day might also have helped. Still my top pick so far.
