Thanks for all of your comments. Uh, I think it needed a little more, oh I don't know, CONTRAST. For my first entry, I'll take the 4.3.

Nice idea, but poorly executed. Not sure if black and white fits it. Try to alter your lighting for a more dramatic effect.

I like the idea behind this.. but maybe could use just a little more contrast.

You made me have to look real hard for the shadows...but that's OK. Nice shot. I like the trunk-like composition as well.

Very nice shadows! i think this would have also been nice with some colored lighting possibly :) The could have also produce some neat effects if lit by candle. The only flaw I see that really catches my eye is the diagonal shadow line across the lower left of the frame. Maybe a tighter crop? Good work! - jmsetzler

I like this photo; shapes and lighting effects. Did you experiment with placing the "divider" somewhere other than the middle of the photo? It seems a little too symetrical to place this so close to the middle...

a little less contrast for my taste.

I like the play of the light as it's reflected through the marbles. The 'carpers' are probably asking where the shadow is but it works for me.

More contrast is needed--everything looks washed out and dull.

I don't like the way this is divided in the middle, sorry.

I see where you are trying to go with this one, but unfortunately, this is very much a gray on gray shot. Some more contrast, and maybe a stronger lightsource could've helped IMO.

More of a refraction image than "shadow" to me.
