OMG! Another Month of Overlays

Ha! Love that 'window' overlay This totally engages and draws the viewer into the viewing experience. We, the viewer, take a glance into an open window at the same time the model (you) take a peek outside. The end result is we surprise/spook each other.

B&W was a great choice - really calls to attention the textures as well as the main elements and shapes. The softness to it and the color choice coupled with the worn texture makes me think that I am watching an old film.

Love the colors that span the composition - from a rich green to the autumn yellow then the lush purple. The transition of colors makes me think of autumn. Great texture overlay - the rough and gritty look gives us the sense of touch of what autumn might feel like.

I really have to install better quality glass...these monkeys keep throwing stones and breaking the windows:-) That was the first mini 'story' that went in my head upon looking at the image. Great overlay, makes us think/feel that we are looking at this monkey through a broken window.

I really like the presentation that these photos are in a well loved album...the fingerprints are a nice touch. The photos really take on a keepsake and cherished memories feel with the processing you added.

The addition of texture to age the photo really calls the attention more to the shapes and light shining through that arched ceiling and decorative windows. It gives off a feel and mood of being 'well-traveled' - a familiar and comforting setting. The silhouette of the person injects a human element into the composition and adds interest - are we meeting this person at the station or is it a picture of ourself arriving/leaving (tells a story)

On the Road

Nice subtle texture around the edges - gives the photo a well worn and handled feel. Nicely done and complements the image well without overpowering it.

Heh, an "I see you" moment (both for the model looking on at the photographer and the viewer who gets to see the photo). I like the texture and sepia type color - gives it a grungy on assignment mood and a feel that this was taken long ago.

Welcome to My Nightmare

Going to go back to my above and below challenge commenting: Hello neighbor!:-) Congrats on the top 10 placement.

I like how the 'nightmare' radiates out from the person/sleeper. Her silent scream is heard as we get to see the imagery that haunts her...and that skull with the eyes in it very definately FREAKY! Good choice with the sepia/B&W tones for a color version would have made it far too busy to absorb. Here the vision/all parts of the composition is easy to take in and appreciate. Great job on the reflections too!

Fear of the Dark

With the warped arms and the stretched body of the woman it makes me think of the poster for Gilliams' 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. However, the overall warped style makes me think Tim Burton/Burtonesque. Composition is very well done and I can very well see this in the top 10. This captures the fear of falling and the fear of being 'chased/captured'. Those disembodied hands reaching out to grab her is very macabre and frightening when you think about it. The full moon is a nice touch for one thinks of all the supernatural beasties that come out during a full moon.
