Nice photo-reminds me of close encounters. The grain and lighting sell it.

To me, the grain doesn't work. Maybe a strange color would have helped.

Very cool... The expression on the kid's face conveys "nightmare" well. The noise adds to the effect. Great job! 8.

I really hope this places. I know I've been having nightmares about it since I first saw it. The graininess is perfect and the shadow is fantastic. The expression on his face is absolutely haunting. Very well done. I wish I could give it an 11. Congratulations.

I love this photo - the light is exquisite, the graininess reminds me of black and whte TV from my childhood. This is a really scary image. His eye is the focal point but his ear is almost equally emphasized. His mouth, careful not to make a sound, forms the third point of a triangle which in turn is cut by the shadow - Lots of great leading lines here especially the lineof his gaze which leads, not off the photo but somewhere out in front of it. I like that the shadow is formlless, makes it much scarier if you let the view supply his own personal terror. 10

I really like this. The capture of fear and the (I'm assuming) deliberate noise create a dream world. I hope you don't get docked fro the noise. Good luck.
