Comment by RyanW:
definitely freaky contact lenses
i like the shallow DoF for this and the location is great with the trees creating a tunnel to empahsize the growing darkness

Comment by Cory:
I love it. You didn't really capture the darkness of the novel, but you did get the blindness right.

If she only looked scared and miserable this would be a 9 or 10.

As it is? you get an 8

As to the inspiration, it seems to work very well as a representation of the book which is where the majority of images in this challenge fail. And I was enjoying this image very much at first glance until I realized the eyes were manipulated in post processing. Now all I see is this defect in an otherwise very well executed shot. I think her blankly staring eyes could have been a wonderfully natural effect. Regretably, my vote is only a 4 in this form.

6...Its freaky, and kind of cool. But the eyes remind me of the whole werewolf/vampire thing that is so popular now. It would have been interesting to portray the "white blindness" of the afflicted. The B&W conversion has nice pop, and the rain is quite lovely.

This image is amazing. I really like the B&W conversion, DoF and lighting. Those eyes are great an I particularly like the inclusion of rain. 9
