Critique the Community: Shadows | Fstoppers Contests

Congratulations to the winners!

Check out our video critique to see 10 incredible photographs and two lucky winners.

Rules & Prizes

In this week's contest, we want to see images that focus on the absence of light. We want to see the unique ways you've used shadows in your photography.

Each photographer is allowed to submit up to three different entries. The highest-rated image and one random entry will both win a free tutorial from the Fstoppers Store. If you're unsure which tutorial you'd choose, may I suggest our newest tutorial, The Well-Rounded Photographer, that covers eight genres taught by eight different instructors.

Excellent choices. The woman in the window is a fascinating image.

Any one else having the problem that your image doesn`t appear in the contest overall view? I have to click into "yours" pictures view to find it. But it gets votes.. And the recent B/W contest my picture is gone there also. But I can click into the first winner picture inn full screen mode and from there click further with the right arrow and then my picture appears. This is Extremely frustrating because I finished fourth and as an hobby photograper I am proud of that. And it would be so nice to take a screenshot of the highest rated view and show that to the model girl also. I have contacted Morris, but it is still gone. I have no problems with my Pc, and this is the first time I have experienced this at Fstoppers.

Hi Thank`s a lot Eddie! I downloaded your screenshot so I can show the girl the fourth place :) And now suddenly I can see my car image in "all" mode. But the girl is still missing in my "all" and "highest rated" mode. This is very strange. Never happened to me before. But now I tried Microsoft edge browser without being logged in, and I can see the girl in the highest rated view... Maybe it suddenly is something with Firefox I am using that causes the problems?
