Very creative to incorporate the shadow as an active participant in this image. Being that it is a still life, I would have closed the lens more and increase the exposure to exploit edge to edge sharpness. Otherwise, I love the concept and the composition. You get my seven for a very good effort.
great composition. I am a fan of the high contrast, but I think it might be a tad harsh, losing the texture of the wood. I would have to play around with the file in order to see if less contrast would look better, it's hard to tell.
Great shot - very imaginative and simple. I like the choice of b&w and going high-key. However, the white inset border kind of messes with the composition on the right side - maybe a hairline black and then the white and again the black would have worked better? It's really a minor complaint on a wonderful shot. 8
That's a cool idea, not sure about the tight crop but this works for me anyway. Great shadow, nice and sharp and a pretty interesting illusion to boot. Nice shot (7)
