this is quite surreal, a bit bonkers, very striking, superbly moody, and very very likeable. there is so much to love about this shot. the colours of the tiles, the lighting, the choice of subject, the colours, tones and feel of the back wall. the shadows aren't quite obviously apparently integral to the shot, but they do convey some meaning the more you study it. the only thing seriously letting you down is the light coming from (and presence of) the property in the background - just screws up the balance and i'm sitting here, cursing you for not moving / rotating round a little bit to get it out of the frame. it's one of those things that easy to miss when you're actually taking a shot because your attention it naturally on the subject at hand. like i said though, very striking image. 9.

Great perspective tones and colors. I'll definitely look back to see what lens you used. Comp is cool.

A little too dark for my taste but a nice idea.

The floor is a bit too busy for the shadow to stand out.

I love the colors that come out in this image. Very sureal and dreamy. I think the back wall is what really makes the image work for me. The perspective it adds allows me to look at the image and contimplate rather than click to the next one. Great Job!

Great idea, composition and all but this could be much more effective if it were brighter. at first glance I couldn't understand what I was seeing because of the darkness.
