The idea came up a few hours before the deadline and as it is a humorous approach I did it. It is pretty simple, surely not a winner and I don't think I am the only one.
Tested with the P1, but high ISO noise, so grabbed the Fuji and reshot the scene at ISO160 and aperture priority.
Light by overhead spot and bounce from other spots to fill the shadow. Camera supported by computer casing on auto timer.
Digital processing: Arbitrary rotation of about 25% CW, cropped without resampling. Contrast adjustment (more), nothing good came from levels so no levels. Resampled to 640xAAA, unsharp mask, save for the web.

What kid hasn't made shadow puppets. This is a very good puppet, as well as good photo. Nice background. It's rather hard to make constructive comments when a photo is good, but not exciting. This is good and technically fine. It's a 6 in my book. PTL
A nice hand shadow, and a message I couldn't agree with more.
Personally I would have cropped as tightly as possible around the hand and shadow,while keeping roughly the same aspect ratio - I think the background dominates the image too much as it is.
