I forgot to add to the notes that the blur is from the nature of the shadow and the slight wall texture and not from anything else in post processing. I've used this challenge to concentrate on in-camera approaches to sharpless. Here, I tried to focus as sharply as possible on the wall texture, and used PS to enhanced contrast, convert to B&W (to elinimate a color cast), crop, and later add a border.

This is really nice! I can see it hanging on a wall in a stairwell or something. It's artistic and a perfect use of blur to make it interesting!!

How wonderful "the simplicity of a shadow." We should all relish in the typical everyday things we see.

This reminds me of a carrot, I would like to see more space to the sides, a wider image.

I really like the lightberry bokeh. Very refreshing.
