  We study the shadow behaviors of five dimensional (5D) black holes embedded
in type IIB superstring/supergravity inspired spacetimes by considering
solutions with and without rotations. Geometrical properties as shapes and
sizes are analyzed in terms of the D3-brane number and the rotation parameter.
Concretely, we find that the shapes are indeed significantly distorted by such
physical parameters and the size of the shadows decreases with the brane or
"color" number and the rotation. Then, we investigate geometrical observables
and energy emission rate aspects.
