This idea was based on a combination of
A) a photo by Ruth Bernhard "Lifesavers" shot in 1930
B) The concept of meaning of life from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", instead I deliberately used 53 instead of 42 (I found that people usually pay closer attention when recognizable things are WRONG instead of RIGHT)
and C) My own ideas of very sharp lighting to produce intense shadows and strong silhouettes.

5? I thought the answer to life, the universe and everything was 42! : )
Nice shadows though. I wish the center lifesaver(?)/circle was a bit more straight to the camera.
Looking at this, I think you should have titled it "Binary". I think there could be a successful image made with this type of setup. This is not it however...
Neat image. My eye is really drawn to the center 'O'. The composition is a little off. It should be either more centered or more off-center instead of slightly off-center. Looks sloppy instead of intentional.
This is interesting. My first thought was "Hmm. Lifesaver-Henge." But then I looked at the shadows and liked how they form binary numbers. I enjoyed pondering this one for a while.
Now I thought for a minute there you were a fan of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy but that would have ben 101010 eh lol.
Great shot very well executed, I like the way the shadows run out of the frame.
