Nice composition and superb lighting. I like the almost monochromic look of the image and how the red draws your attention to the figure upstairs. Well thought out - great shot.

Clever. Dramatic. Spooky. There is no strong connection with the challenge theme however.

Technical: good use of lighting and contrast. Sharp, and in focus.
Artistic: I think the person's red hooded coat distracts somewhat...if he was in a black hooded coat, now that would be really spooky. Otherwise, there is a nice use of lines, geometric shapes and I think the perspective and crop really works well.

Overall, this is a good photo but suffers from a lack of strong connection with the challenge theme.

oooh scary. What makes it particularly emotional is that the guy is wearing cargo pants. and the scariest of villians always dress a few years out of style!

maybe its my monitor but i can't see any of the dark space in the bottom. i understand that revealing no texture in the stairs could be intentional, but i find that the negative space is slightly too strong for the picture.

that's just being picky though, i like the silhouettte and the general composition.

The Lighting here is brilliant, though I find the red tone of the hood a little distracting, pehaps a black sweater next time ?

All the same, a great image...9
