    I like the zig-zag design the actual boards and their shadows make.

    Excellent study of lines and shadows...I've been noticing that you do these very well and you're very good with monochrome!

    Great effect with the strong shadows. Makes it look sort of Escher-ish. Love it!

    I get that optical illusion feeling again looking at this. Great way to fool the eye using the light.

    Great!! It is actually an illusion. See, if you move it up and down it looks like it is moving. MB

    I like the patterns in this, probably even more dramatic if you increased the contrast.
