OK, so I was the only one that didn't like the shadow. So let me explain. I don't mind the shadow but for the challenge 'minimalism' I feel that just the fire connection itself with it's outstanding red colour and shape would have created a much better impact and met the challenge better. I find the shadow distracting my attention from the actual object. I gave it a 9 at voting - would have been a 10 with no shadow. CheersMessage edited by author 2007-02-02 18:30:38.

Great use of light/shadow to make for a more dramatic and dynmic minimilist shot. Nice texture and color as well.

I like the way the shadow forms a whole 'nother entity. Great color, too.

Like the composition a lot and how the shadow gives depth to it. Great shot. 7 Lionel

the shadow extends the size of your subject..

This would have worked better for me with a steeper angle from the left. As is, the slight rotation and slant seem unintentional.

Think this would have been a great shot without the shadow
