Freaking scary. The lighting is very dramatic (and effective). Now, I'm going to have nightmares. . .

This is exactly how one of my clown nightmares went! Very scary! I really like the lighting on the clown's face also. Good (but disturbing) picture! :)

oh gawd...I guess I didn't know I was so afraid of clowns! Your image is terrifying. Nice job! Well-executed with a huge creep factor going on here! Good use of lighting to achieve your effects, btw.

No wonder people are afraid of clowns.

This one kind of reminds me of Halloween. I love that movie, 'specially the Rob Zombie remake.

A good shot, though, kind of feel bad for the guy in bed.

Oh why oh why do these clowns not know how to hold a knife the right way? Cool light and idea.

Clown looks good in this image. The guy sleeping looks out of place. Lighting and focus is so off and grainy there when the clown is so vivid.

Just scary - once again I'll be sleeping with the lights on!

More like clown nightmares! Too obviously staged 8

Oh no more crazy killer clowns. A little too much ICP in the world. Good job included the guy sleeping.

Arghhhh!!!!

Overall, I like this... the eeriest part is that the window and blinds are exactly like in my office. I guess I won't be doing any late nights for a while! My only mark against this one is that I wish it were easier to see the person sleeping.. even on my brightest monitor it was hard to tell what it was.

Interesting take and interesting angle of the knife.

Wow, great image.

i think the front bit on the bottom of the photo is too distracting, i would rather see it cropped more to the clown, then it would be rather scary and interesting

What is it with all the demented clowns in this challenge!!! Good lighting and composition and no possibility of a viewer misinterpreting the clown's intentions ;-) Nit: the knife should be a little farther up in the air so we can see the nice, sharp point on it. A glint on the slightly-repositioned knife would make this sublime.

No.... now i am going to have nightmares! :(

creepy shot. The knife might have been better shown if held a bit higher so it doesn't get clipped off teh frame. I like the lighting on his face.
