This is only my 2nd challenge... Just want to let you know that photography is not my hobby. I just want to have fun. I saw this shot as a reflection in my home, and thought I would submit it.

By definition it is not a reflection as no light is bouncing off of the object.
The shadow exists by virtue of the object interrupting light.
If light doesn't bounce off the object, how does the shadow come about? I disagree with your comment. I am not a professional photographer, nor do I take these challenges as seriously as most. Thanks for your comment though.
Kinda pushes the defintion of reflection. Beyond that the composition isn't that interesting. The lighting looks like a simple flash -- it needs more drama. The textured ceiling acts as a distraction, as well.
hrm... perhaps if the shaddow had been refelcted onto something, it would have met the challenge, but I don't think it does like this. Nice shadow work, however. Sorry that you'll have to endure thousands of "this doesn't meet the challenge" comments.
