Very interesting idea. I think the thought for this challenge was prefect. The shadow was a prefect example of backlighting. Personally I would play with the shot a little. Like lower your angle to see a little more of the bear from the front on as opposed to the top view. Also I think the focus could have been sharper, even though it is a dreamy bear. If you wanted to go more with the soft focus, maybe add some more fluff possibly around the bear and still add a little more focus. Maybe even try to focus on something like the nose so if everything else is soft there is still a focal point.
Whit more detail all the little fuzzes on the bear, the shadows could have been even more striking. I think the best part of this piece is how huge the shadow of something as small and innocent as a teddy bear is. This idea has tons of potential in my opinion, with a little more of an angle and focus.
Good work, those first challenges are some of the hardest. Especially putting yourself out there, so you should be proud. |

| Nice edge fringe fits the challenge, especially on the shadow. Wish for less straight-on composition and more sharpness/DOF. |

| While it's definitely lit from the back, the shadow "overshadows" the subject considerably. |

| I like how the shadowy reflection makes the teddy bear seem monstrous. |
