Not my favorite Damon... Not after your portraits and your travel shots...
Creative thinking though

Haha, you did not have to retract for me Damon... but since you did, :D
I would get rid of the left shadow, so I would have a pic with the one figure and lots of white space to the left. I am sure that if you stay on that
thinking path that you are on now, that you will surprise us with the
super shot of the year!!!

I like it with both! I think it adds to the composition. Just my 2 cents. :D

I like African Shadows.. Very nice compostition and very creative. I have to agree with comments below about the kiss in venice as you have shared some incredible portraits and this is very different from that work, although I kind of like it as well. Different and interesting and makes you think. I like shadows better though as a whole. The only thing I do not like about it is the reflection on the chest of the closer statue. Kinda draws away from the idea of shawos. I dont know if you have time to reshoot in a way that would remove this.. would be so easy if you could use PS huh :rofl . Dont take that comment to think that I dont like this photo though cause I do alot the way it is. Great work as usual.:thumb
