Nice colorfull photo. I think you should have cropped/framed it tighter though, to get rid of both the shelf and the blue background to the left and top of the shadow.
This has to be the clearest, most defined shadows in the challenge. The threads trailing off are a very nice touch. Second viewing bumps you up a point. This is really nice. Photo 9 Creativity 9 Shadows 10 Total 9
I like the way you have set this up. Did you try it with different colors of spools. I have found that if you include red in a picture, it seems to make it stand out more. This might also make a nice black and white shot.
This is a really neat photo ! I like the textures and color. The shadow is just awesome. The only flaw I can see is the light over exposure on the thread in places.
I like this photo because of it's simplicity, composition, and pleasant combination of soft color. It takes a good eye to find such a jewel in common simple items. I also like the way you broke up the background by using black on the right to created a balance with the shadow on the left. There is a slight problem with lighting harshness that robs from the soft texture by blowing out some highlights. Since there is plenty of contrast, I think that this could have been lessened or avoided altogether with a change of f-stop or shutter speed, or by using a polarizer or neutral density filter.
great colors, crisp shadow, nice focus/detail. my only suggestion for improvement is ridiculous...since the surface the spools are sitting on looks weathered/antiquish, the image might look more 'tied-together' (suffering from T.O.T.) if the spools were wooden.
