Very very well thought of. It took me a small moment before it hit me. That is what makes it so cool.

Your excellent abstraction first takes my imagination to chocolat bars on white kitchen counter tiles. The blurred shadows are indistinct, but help give a necessary (imo) three dimensionality to the image.

Had to do a double take to realize what this was. Initially it looked like some black objects hanging against a wall. Good work.

I had a list of ideas and this was on it. I didn't get to shoot it though but glad you did. The only such shot in the challenge. I like your take on it, would've liked it a bit more if the whites where pumped up some more.

The shapes are wonderful! Took me a sec to realize it's a piano.

title could be better and give meaning to something that comes out when you flip it upside down
