I think the kid is too engrossed in the book to notice the scary apparition, or maybe he knows it's just an illusion.
Good pic, I enjoyed it. |

great idea and execution of the shot!
It might have been scarier if the image was darker (shot with less light)...And the few 'extras' on the 'set' are a bit distracting (the white cord, the potted plant, the 'busy' chair...) But nice job though, extra points for originality! |

I like this one! Nice crisp main image and just enough gost image!. Too bad your model didn't have a spooked expression, this would be priceless! Tell him he did a great job of holding still for it!

Very nicely done double-exposure!
Never that much luck getting my kids to sit still that long. (8) |

| I like the concept, alhough I feel that maybe this is a little too bright, given the subject matter. |

| Excellent ! Well done. I really like this illusion. Only thing I'm not crazy about is the corner line that intersects the ghost. |

looks like a fun set up here.
nice double exposure. I would put gloves on the horror figure to make it more sinister |

| This is a very nice concept. What you have here is very well done. Avenues of exploration may have led one to a simpler setting. While the chair is a beauty, the viewer can not imagine a young boy filled with adventure sitting on it. A napsack, a sleeping bag with a few candles, etc, etc. Now, if time constraints did not allow for a different execution, then I would have changed angles to hide the wires. Even the plant should have been reconsidered to simplify the image. On the positive side the double exposure was very well done. 6 |

| great capture.... the wire on the floor behind the chair is distracting and a different chair with less pattern might help. |

| I'm not completely sure, but that looks like a "Harry Potter" book that the boy is reading. The "monster" and the book do not match up. It is nice seeing a kid read. Technically, the picture is sound. Nice long exposure and well detailed. |

| Good illusion althought the image has that staged feel that doesn't really come over and grab you like an image of this type should. hope that makes sense 7 |

First Impression: I think there is too much light for the intended mood. Also, the boy's legs seem disproportionally long because of the closeness and wider angle. The cabling is a bit distracting too.
Was I fooled? Yes of course! We all know children don't read anymore!! Oh the masked guy! |

| This is a great idea, but it loses some of the effect it might have had because of several things... first, the setting. I think this would have been fantastic if you'd had this set in the child's room, while he's in bed in the dark with a small reading lamp or maybe a flashlight, then had the scary image looming over him or under the bed or something. Secondly, the obvious "human" hand takes away from the image: it is clear that the scary thing is just a human in disguise. Simply keeping the hand in the robes would work well. Thirdly, the child's expression doesn't show anything other than concentration or possibly even boredom, he needs to show a hint of fear or nervousness, or something... perhaps a glance over his shoulder, anything to show that the subject is showing your title " You know that tingling feeling you sometimes get reading a scary book..." Right now, I'd say, no, he doesn't know that feeling... |

| just an idea. a DVD jacket of the movie instead of book while boy is shown watching (like holding a remote control) would have given the illusion better context. nice work. |
