It was near the end of her sanity that Sara once again appeared in what she'd come to call "The Fireplace Room". While it should have been clear that she was going in circles, the insane don't always realize their folly, and so she crawled out of the frame and entered the fireplace again, desperately seeking a way out.

When her catatonic body was discovered days later, nobody could figure out why she didn't just try the door.

I really love this -- the grain and the way it's out-of-focus add to it a lot for me, but at the same time it's also just a little bit too out-of-focus

Obviously, basic rules prevent it, but separate from the challenge the stray hair near her left eye could be cloned out. I point this out as the only minor flaw here--This is a GREAT image, and gets a 9. I like the blurry and dynamic hair on the left side, and the straight, static hair on the right. Almost like a split personality, or yin-yang sort of feel to it. Nice.

Yes, the spookiness (emotion=fear) comes through the abstract composition even without knowing the subject.

I really like the choice for focal point on this, and having her hair draped down in that fashion adds even more to the effect.

I'm pretty sure this is photokariangel. It's an awesome photo and a cool setting. I know I recently saw photo like this in the recently uploaded photos pages - I liked them too. 10
