Not much chance for shooting this week, bit last minute and will no doubt score accordingly as I'm not especially happy with it although I do like the idea.

You have a great item there to work with (study). This example I'm afraid is rather boring. What could you do better? First the 'pose' is rather unimaginative. Give it a little more interesting angle. Try different angles to see what the effect is. Second the lighting is kinda boring. If ya moved it away from the wall and then put some lighting directly on the wall it would help to remove the multiple shadows that IMHO don't add to the shot. Move your subject lighting around a little more and maybe use some reflective lighting to fill and you would end up with more texture and depth. Play with it. It's digital and you have forever to practice right?

Good idea. The shadow is a bit washed out by other light sources, but not too bad.

Great idea with the repeating shadows, but the light/flash setup wasn't adjusted for the best impact.

I like the shadow on the wall. Might have been better with only one light. That other shadow that starts farther right is distraction. Cool.

HAHA. Love the title. The shadow works really well with the composition.

You should've tried to make the shadow a little more pronounced. Try to get a single shadow instead of two. 6

If the shadow was a bit more defined, this shot would be much more effective. However, it comes across as being a bit harsh in the lighting department. A very good idea, though.

I like the idea, I feel you have missed a trick of not having a much more pronounced shadow

Nice take on the challenge, this truely is the side less seen! Nice image. The shadows on the wall are a tad distracting and I was told by a fellow DPCer when I had the same problem that it is better not to get an object you are photographing too close to a wall because it will generally create this 'problem'

Nice image though
