Thank you Kathy for your hard work and this response in tis thread. You did a great job and it was fun!

ravenduff said:
The trouble with posting negative comments in this thread, is that
the (currently UNKNOWN) photographer does not have the opportunity
to respond. Negative comments always beg for a response!

ravenduff said:
JUST MY OPINION...

Your opinion is right on! (IMHO)

jeeze, leave you guys alone for a day and look what happens...

OK! I don’t know about you folks, but this challenge period seemed
awful long to me, which is sort of ironic since half the entries
came in on the last day. Maybe we should do 1 day challenges?! –
lol.

Anyway it’s time to vote! – and it’s going to be tough. There are a
lot of good entries for this challenge:

http://www.pbase.com/otfchallenge/shadow_challenge

Voting will end Friday at noon and I’ll announce the winner that
afternoon. Again, anyone can vote whether you have submitted an
entry or not. Vote only on the Challenge Gallery and the person

mercy, it's time to cast my vote. I have changed my vote at least 20 times and they are now different from when I first cast them. This just shows the quality. These images are all so uniquely different; the ideas wonderful, and a joy to look at. I am truly humbled to be among such talent. Thanks for the fun, and congratulations to everybody. All of my choices are uniquely different, which is what I enjoyed about this challenge.

ravenduff said:
First Place (9 pts): Light Color and Shadows

Nice use of light; the glass is so crisp and sharp and beautiful colors and balance.

ravenduff said:
Second Place (6 pts): Early Start

The image draws me in; the shadows all around the room and a center glows. As an early riser, I can relate to that scene, lol!)

ravenduff said:
Third Place (4 pts): Shadow Reflections

A neat abstract, nice balance and beautiful color. Love the mixture of color and geometric shapes

ravenduff said:
Fourth Place (2 pts): Fire

Unique and beautiful image, 16 second exposure creates such a interesting design with the sparks and fire against the silhouette of the grates; I would never have thought to do this but now I can wait to try.

ravenduff said:
Fifth Place (1 pts): Narcissism in Silhouette

Unique concept; creative silhouette. Reminds me of an image of an optical illusion example where you could see either two faces or a vase. This image creates that kind of optical illusion; you have the silhouette but also the colorful vase shape in the middle that get created by the silhouette.

Honorable Mention (in no particular order of preference)

ravenduff said:
Romantic Sunset - Great sunset in the background. The two models capture spirit and feel of this concept very well.

ravenduff said:
Crescent Egg - Simple, elegant and wonderfully abstract. Nice texture and definition on the egg.

ravenduff said:
Posts - Very simple but pleasing design. Great depth of field. I like how the plowed snow forms a curve against the straight line of the post. I would have like to see what this image looked taken from the shadow side.

ravenduff said:
Something to Crow About -- Love how the crows are facing in different directions; gives nice balance and interest to the image

ravenduff said:
Idle Oaks -- Beautiful sky, I really enjoy the way the silhouette shapes of the branches and leaves mirror the curves in the clouds

ravenduff said:
Tree -- I like to color and peaceful mood -- beautiful silhouette of a graceful old oak -- very nice.

Exhibition

ravenduff said:
Memories -- I would love to hang this in my home -- what a great capture.

Wow! This was really hard. There are too many good photos in this challenge to narrow my choices down to five, but here goes:

First: Light Color and Shadow
Second: Anticipation
Third: Off the Wall
Forth: Crescent Egg
Fifth: Early Start

It’s incredible how much thought and time were put into these and all the entries for the challenge. Thanks for making the voting so difficult!

.... Excellent , excellent entries !! Very difficult to choose ...and that's
a good thing !

My choices...

1. Light , Color and Shadow

Most pleasing to the eye in my opinion . Beautiful color and clarity.

2. Crescent Egg

The simplest of all , but very nice effect and well within the rules
of the contest...

3. Shadows

Very simple as well , and a nice abstract.

4. Orange Umbra

I just like it.

5. Shadow Reflections

Another interesting abstract that works well...

As for the others...well they pretty much sucked...
