At first I found the steep angle a bit much but I must admit that my first impression with the colors and textures was, "Wow!" I wondered if the angle actually made the photo less interesting but as I stare at it with my neck bent out of shape, I think you might have actually improved an otherwise average scene. It certainly made me think about my vote. Too bad about the fencing up on the hill or whatever it is. Good luck!

Nicely composed, but a bit busy to me. I would have placed more emphasis on the monkey by darkening the edges and lightening the middle of the shot.

Too much background too little monkey too little motion

The author's intent is clear and very intriquing look at nightmarish figures vaguely seen or felt. A very interesting look into human nature and natural fears.

A little better lighting control reducing the dramatic effect would have been a plus. Not an overly interesting image from an artistic sense, it does provide a lot of detail and color differences. A little more thought into the composition would have made for a better image. A good entry into the challenge, it falls just short of being truly effective. Perhaps a little change in viewing angle would have helped.

I don't think anything here pops or is very clear.
