This appears to have been lit by a flash, which caused the objects surrounding the camera to be better lit than your intended subject. A light source behind the person would help to separate them from the surrounding darkness, while preserving the atmosphere.

Interesting in an informative way but less so artistically. Perhaps avoid the horizontal centre line with the right hand shoe

This is a nice concept, but the lighting suffers. The flash makes the foreground too bright to support the "dark road" of the title.

wow....thats a trulyy amazing shot. prettu unbelievable. the photo itself isnt that great but whats featured in it is. the words on pink shoe are very distracting though. i noticed those before the chinese shoe.

I like the way you captured the mood (scary).... Something just doesn't feel right about the lighting though... can't put my finger on it.

Just a bit too much mid tone grey to make a good B&W shot.

This reminds me of mornings when nice, quiet, long mornings where hot tea, fresh bread, rich cheese, and fresh lemon curd were all that mattered. Yeah, I know this comment doesn't really help much. But I just really like what this image evokes for me. :) The mousetrap is a neat idea also... it can be looked at in a number of ways. Shadows and lighting are perfect, IMO. :) I gave this a 9.
