 Driving to work I saw some men preparing to work on a billboard. The sun added the perfect touch by creating the interesting shadows against the white backround. A lucky capture. Cropped, increased contrast and sharpened.

Great shot. This almost looks like a statue. Nice angle to bring out the shadows.

Like the composition and contrast. (Difficult exposure with all the white and light, lost some detail, but not bad).

Nice. Good subject and use of negative space. Light is a bit harsh. 7

The white shows all the dust and clutter on your sensor :)

Great capture! I love the composition. The shadow almost looks like it doesn't belong to the climber. It's just the angle, but it's very interesting.

Love the graphic quality of this one. I like your placement of the subject over to the side. It looks to me like you have some dust on your sensor though. I'd have cloned out the spots to make this even better.

The shadow looks like it has a life of its own. Very cool!

Love the shadow which looks like it has a life of it's own. Striking composition, but wish it was in landscape orientation with plenty of negative space to the left.

Wonderful interplay of subject and shadow. I love the white background, simplifiying the focus upon the shadow. All the best.

excellent capture! really hope this does well for you.

[btw, are those sensor spots in the center left of the image? you might consider healing them out, or, adjusting the brighness/contrast a bit. as is, i can't tell if they are part of what you were shooting at, or a detail overlooked...]

Nice capture. Good framing and light.

Nice work. Personally, I think i'd have tried to get a touch more detail into the real figure - drifts a little close to the silhouette end of things around his upper body - to increase the effect of the contrast between him and his shadow. A nice study.

simplicity at its best 9

Since this is a members challenge with advanced editing rules, I would have cloned out some of the distracting spots on the wall on the left side.
