This is an interesting image Clive. It's serious and deep and at the same time the fact your daughter is wearing a necklace (at least it looks like a necklace to me) makes me smile.

I like it a lot more than I do the Fuseli 'Nightmare'. Maybe it was just a sign of the times but I've always thought that Fuseli seriously over-egged the pudding.

I like the low-tech look of this because I'm in love with low-tech photographs, but there's lots more to it than just some stylish negligence. The infant communicates a very unnerving sense of knowing rather more than an infant should. And it's a squirmingly splendid composition too. Everything about this image is deeply unsettling, just as you intended. I'm not sure what it was that Fuseli intended.

As of the framing alone weren't perfect enough, that subtle tilt sets this off just so. Wonderful.

A haunting image. I have stared at it quite a while. The incubus just stared right back.

Simply beautiful. All those different structures, the clear and dark parts, the damaged window frame (with a brick wall behind it?)... I like this very much.

I loved this shot -- the perspective, the general composition, the tones and textures. Fascinating shot. It makes me want to take more risks behind the camera. Thanks.
