---Greetings form the Critique Club!---

Very clever idea for this challenge!

This is one of the few "shadow only" entries that actually works. The white bricks may get lost on monitors that are not well calibrated. They are just at that right level to get blown out on weaker monitors.

Even tough I think it works well with just the shadow and the bricks, adding another element might have pushed this one into the elite scores. The entries that scored higher had more than just the shadow and what is was cast on.

Other than that, I think it is a strong entry perhaps deserving of a higher score.

I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I really thought that this had a good chance of winning.
I still think it is the best of the bunch.
Never mind on to the next challenge.

aggressive use of editing. clever, but won't score too well I am afraid.

Sorry, I've never seen a shadow like that before. Cool idea though.

Clever idea.

this is weird and totally skewers my pre-conceived idea of what a shadow could, nay, should be. and it totally works, in some weird mad bonkers inverted way - it's amusing also because it looks like the wall was spray painted and the man was caught in the way... yes, this is very creative. i voted this with a 9.

Classic Photo. Great idea and execution. I really like the tone and texture within the shadow.

Very creative to have the shadow portion be properly exposed -- definitely made me do a double-take. Very nice!

Great Great concept. I like how the shadow is redder than the bricks themselves. I wish the bricks outside the shadow weren't so bright. you shold make the bricks outside the shadows slightly darker.

I like it feel that the non-shadow is too burned out though

One of the most creative entries. Possibly a not so agressive obliration may have even made this greater. Bump.

I feel it's a bit overexposed.
