I first thought that the shadow could have been darker, but then, as I looked at the picture again, the shadow does appear more mysterious because of the translucent effect. I like it.
Just enough nothing to be something, and vice-versa. I enjoyed the little excursion it took me on, as a relief from the many tedious literalist images that will no doubt finish much higher in the challenge results. Thank you.
I couldn't have passed up this wall either. The subtle tones and gritty textures tell so many stories. The shadow suggests another one about to begin. A top pick from me.
