10th Place: Curvature of Space-Time
by JoeSchmoe

Abstracting from an intriguing concept in physics. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, matter curves space-time around it by force of gravity. Getting the shadow to bend was a lot easier (and more fun) than wrapping my mind around this abstract concept.

Very appealing, Joe. B&W was a perfect choice to show off the form, shadow, and background. I can't wait to try out your background technique. Michael Puff

Nice use of simple form, light, and shadow. MFC

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone. Lance, the backdrop is flexible posterboard, which I bent up to get the shadow to curve. :)

I like this also, Joe. The (flower vase?) object is contemporary looking in design and I like the long shadow cast by your lighting. Mark J

I really like this image Joe. The metal(?) object almost seems to fade out towards the base, and the shadow takes over. It's fun to look at. Melanie (mlynn)
