nice composition, i like the symmetry of it. fulfills the challenge for sure. did you deliberately make this so grainy? if not, check out the tutorial on tips on how to best save your file for max. quality and using the whole allowable file size. picture also seems a little soft. -- gr8photos (3)

This would have been nice had the image quality been better. I may have cropped lower on the bottom too.

The JPEG artefacts are a bit distracting

A lot of compression in this shot. Try to keep the file as close to 150k as possible. Could be a little sharper, too.

Thank all of you for the comments, a lot of them were very helpful. One question though, what is vertical framing?

Comment by TSaylors:
Moving the light source closer to the glass would have made that writing more legible in the shadow, still a good idea

Very nice. I might not be able to read the shadow Bud, but the Millennium certainly comes through. I like the dark to light shadow transition, but I think it goes to far in the light direction on the left side of this shot. Sometimes wish the site would matte our photos with other than white, but it would probably hurt other people's photos. I also like the stray accents, like the two in the middle of the shadow and the one at the bottom.
Obviously serious attempt to meet the challenge. Thank you. Photo 9 Creativity 10 Shadows 9 total 9

Pretty cool. I wish the wall was lit better though.
