First impressions - Great connection with the red wall and the subject.
This is one of the few "shadow only" shots that I think really works. Your high score reflects that.
I like the hot spot where the roller meets the wall, I just don't understand it. Maybe it was done in post processing or may it is just an actual hot spot on the wall. In any case, it looks good at first glance and then it makes me wonder.
I like that you went with a large negative space on this. That was a bold move that paid off. It would have been tempting to crop in tighter on the shadow, but I don't think that would have worked as well.
The texture on the wall works too. The texture gives it a grittier feel that if it were perfectly smooth. It gives the sense of being outside.
All in all a very strong image that the voters liked. Looks like a personal best for you too! Congratulations!
I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Love the idea, but there is no indication of being painted. Maybe could've tried taping a piece of cardboard to the top of the roller going to the top of the frame to create the illusion of painting. Still get a good score from me though.
Simple and so extremely effective. Really great use of the negative space. My fave into voting thus far.
edit: A top10 favorite now :) but still , really great job here.
Hope this does really well.
This is a great capture. Very creative. Nice used of color. You may want to blend your edges of the shadow a little more. The blure tool does a great job at that.
I love the simplicity of the composition here. The other thing I really like is the sharpness of the shadow. I've seen lots of entries where the shadow is just too fuzzy to make any impact.
I think this is actually a silhouette rather than a shadow, but I can't be sure so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Nice concept and I like the negative space.
Great idea and very well taken
9 from me.
Good luck i would like to see this ribbon
This would normally get a 10 from me, but i have found one shot that really stands out for me.
