I guess you have entered your "shadow period." I like the basic idea here, but I wonder whether there is a little too much to focus on. There is the tree, then the shadow and finally all the lines of the building. That's a lot for this little mind to grasp.
OMG! First pots, now shadows!
I agree this is a little too busy (you should have seen it before the crop :-). I promise that the next shot in my Shadow Series will be simpler! :-)
Cheers!
