Hi from the Critique Club... Hopefully I can give you a couple of things to think about related to this picture. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

First impression: on topic picture, bright with a duotone type feel.

Composition: You have placed your shadow in a good place according to the rule of thirds. That said, there are several other shadows from doors/window or something covering part of your shadow. I feel the impact could have been greatly increased by moving so your shadow was centered either in the open door area on the RH or in the middle of the window to your left. Personally I think the RH open space with your shadow, accompanied by the window to your left would have been the best choice.

Technical: Lighting works in that your shadow is cast clearly, although the shadow does seem to light. Overall range of tones seems good. All objects are equadistant from the camera so depth of focus is not an issue.

Challenge: This fits within the challenge description so you wouldn't have lost any points there. More isolation of the shadow would have helped grow your vote by a fair amount.

Keep shooting.

Mark

I like your idea of just having a plain wall but adding other shadows to your own to create a an interesting shot. 7.

very basic, but very intriguing. like the coloring and the straightness of the lines. only thing i would have changed is to remove the shadow just to the right of his outline. i think i would have liked the composition more with that entire area open space.

I like the orange - gives me a warm feeling and that your shadow is off centered, as well as the extra lines to the left - something else to look at before returning to your shadow - nice work :)

I like the blur look on this one.
