Something something man altered landscapes
Honestly, while I do like shadowplay and abstractions overall, it's so entry level, like something you get taught in Photo 101 or art history. I think you have to do it really well in order for it to stand out. Make it incredibly perfect and well executed, because there's a thin line between "unique observations of light, shadow and geometry" and "it's a snapshot but since it was shot at the golden hour it should be good".
It can be nice to mess around with if you're out shooting and want to bang out shots to relax, or you're using it to "warm up", but it's not like back when people first started doing this and it was fairly groundbreaking. It's too saturated now.
