Alright, so it's my little boy and not some crazy woman haunting my basement ... but it sure does look like one, eh?

Not much to it really, cropped, changed to b&W, inverted, a little dodge & burn, cloned out a rail on one side of the wall, sharpened and neatimaged to get rid of some of the excess noise due to high ISO and inverting, resized and sfw.

Just having a little fun. Don't expect it to do that well, but I really dig it for some strange reason.

A very artsy study and great composition. Bumping up.

The lines really lead in, but I find this a little too abstract for my tastes.

Leading lines or curves generally have two purposes. One is to lead the viewer into the scene. The other is to lead you toward the main subject. It is most effective if they come in from the lower left because that is the natural direction humans visually scan a picture from so are easiest to pick up.

Stairwells are very effective at directing attention. Good thought.

To be honest, I don't care for the 'banshee.' Like the stairs and the tones used though. Compsition okay.

very unique and intriguing. as is, the light on the top keeps drawing me away from the figure. it looks good, but i think it might look better cropped down or up and inch. don't mind me, i shouldn't be critiquing your art.

abstract? Impressionism?, it works I think.
