 I loved the shadows this metal bowl created. I guess the shadows were more interesting to me than the metal-ness. Oh well...

Oh yeah, the shape of the shadows reminded me of Noguchi's Akari lamps and thus, the name. My metal bowl lamp. Maybe that's what I should have called it.

Very nice photo. But the shadow it's a more dominant element.

Good attempt. Stronger source of light would have produced darker shadows. 5.

I know your object is metal, but your subject seems to be the shadow.

Have the shadows become the main subject? Possibly. Good texture & colour.
