Of the three, I like the second the best. It's more abstract and the distortion of the shadow is intriguing. I makes me want to figure out what it is, while the other two are more obvious.
Here are a few shadow shots for critique and comment.
I doubt between first and second. First one is nicely colored with the white and the green. The second one got my full attention.
It looks like a dog or a horse... it captures my attention. I do like the angle of it, the shadow seems to come out of the corner area and gives it a dynamic feel.
I love the first one, but I think the new plastic chair looks a bit out of place with the old peeling paint. The second one didn't capture my attention at all, I thought it was a dog and pretty much moved straight on to the next one. But maybe it was obvious to me because I have dogs on the mind?

I like this one. It took me a second to find the shadow but when I did I thought it was really cool. Any way to compose this to focus more on the shadow and less on the clothes. I don't know if it would be better it is just a thought. Or perhaps move the white cube closer to the front (if you could do it without getting thrown out of the store)
Personally, I think the chair on the porch has the most potential. Could you reshoot it without the wall in the way? The chair, the shadow and the peeling paint could make a nice image.
