Wow- really surprised this one went over well.
I was in the mid-7 range after 26 votes and I was floored.
This was shot in the parking lot at my work.
Yes real shadow.
I exaggerated the shadows and added texture.

The style of this image/processing is NOT my usual "cup of tea". In other challenges, I might have rolled my eyes and moved on.
However, for THIS topic, something I'd normally dislike a lot, moved me enough to award an 8!!!!!! I still don't like it as a photograph, but I adore it for this challenge. Well done because it fits so well in my opinion.
Fantastic. Well composed and executed, and I love the processing. A bit of a twist in the mood of the classic 1940's film noir. Perhaps nouveau film noir. Nice entry.
