I believe I'm also entered into this contest; upon reading yours I really don't fancy my chances.
This is very nicely written .. I noticed myself when using the Shadow Sonnet style it's extremely hard to write.

I have written a few Elizabethan Sonnets before .. I find it hard to maintain the flow in this style. I think you did a remarkable job of keeping it so smooth.

As always a real pleasure to read.

Wow, that was a very difficult writing scheme, yet you pulled itr off beautifully. i would never be able to write like that and have it sound so natural, that's for sure.

excellent work =]
