 Kokopelli is a fertility deity, usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player (often with a huge phallus and antenna-like protrusions on his head), who is worshipped by many Native American tribes in the Southwestern United States. Like most fertility deities, Kokopelli presides over both childbirth and agriculture. He is also a trickster god. To learn more visit://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokopelli

need to see the part that got cropped off the bottom, color could have differentiated between the original and it's shadow, they are entertwined and confusing

Ah the mischievous minstrel! Very good capture, you really have to look hard to separate the figure from the shadow.

Which is the original and which is the shadow? You have to really look at it a couple of times to tell. Well done, good contrast, the only minus I can find is the one leg getting cut off on the bottom, an 8 to start

8. Well done. Almost could not tell that there was a shadow.

Very graphic and dynamic shot of a musician. The shadows really help to give the figure movement. I seem almost alive. Perfect contrast helps define the shapes beautifully.

I love the abstract nature of this shadow image. Your choice of black on white is perfect for the challenge. A+ for lighting and composition.
