I like the humour in this shot, and funny to see how many people are allergic to shadows! I think you had fun playing around here, and did this tongue-in-cheek, and not many see or appreciate that. Lighting does look a little blown out, but I think it works fine :-)

Good idea, but IMNSHO it would be better without the shadow.
