From the Critique Club:
Though this shot fits the challenge perfectly well, I believe that it suffers from a lack of an interesting subject. There is nothing in the shot that can hold your eye and keep you interested. There are no compositional elements that can take the place of an interesting subject. All there is is some harshly lit sand and the shadow. There are some features in the sand that could help the shot in different lighting. The smooth rolling textures at the top or the roughed up textures at the bottom. However they need the nice lighting that comes from early morn or late evening light. Another thing that may have helped this shot would have been to make the shadow more interesting. Not just you standing there taking the picture. Perhaps you sitting on the beach or in a running pose. Something to take the shot to the next level.
I have many shots in my port from challenges that even though they met the challenge perfectly scored pretty low. Sometimes we have to be able to look through the challenge description and ask ourselves does this photo stand on it's own...
Yours

| I like the colors and textures in the sand. I think I might like this a bit better with the foot cropped out. |

Challenge: SHADOWS III

Advanced Edit
A shadow of me
Fit: Clearly meets the challenge 1
Aesthetics: OK composition 1
Not sure that this is the most creative shot of a shadow that I have seen - composition is a little flat

All the detail is there for sure
Wow: Has some impact 1
Just feels like another shadow photo to me - sorry
Total Score = 5 |

| This is a little too "snap shotty" for my taste. |

| You picked a nice background for the shadow, one which really shows a different texture effect in the shadowed areas. I wish you'd cropped out your foot, the pure shadow would have been more effective. |
