Very tangible feeling from this - excellent to convey so much emotion in a photo.

Thanks for the comments! I'm amazed that I am in the top 10 with the score I got. The green spot is a dead pixel which shows up in low light situations. The mask is a Michael Myers ("Halloween") mask that I have had since High School (~10 years ago). I pretty much just propped the head up on a sheet covered vacuum in front of another black sheet with a work lamp pointed at the mask. I then placed myself close to the camera for the close up "wild-eyed" effect...

clever staging

I don't think the guy on the left needs to be that well lit. That kind of light looks a little unatural to me. I think a blueish light would contrast very well with the yellowish figure in the background. It is quite good, maybe the best in this round. It has a great sense of fear about it.

hmm, crop the human, and leave the fuzzy "michael"....
07/12/2002 08:44:00 AM
Very cool. Reminds me of "halloween."
07/11/2002 08:59:00 PM
Creative and well done. I like how the face in the background is relatively formless/featureless.
07/11/2002 01:56:00 PM
I really loke this depiction of fear. I probably would have rated it higher if it had been in black and white.

Good fear expression. Good composition. Appropriate lighting.

I do see fear in this photo unlike alot of the others
07/10/2002 03:14:00 PM
Kind of cool, looks like the scary guy from Halloween and has person showing fear, better than most of the pics on here.
07/10/2002 02:58:00 PM
I think the model's head alone in the picture with a lot of negative space on teh left would have been effective. OR if the face in the forefront was as dark as the other. Did you use a flash? If so, maybe if you can cut it off and use other sources of light to illuminate your subject, then it won't be so bright or harsh.
07/10/2002 10:43:00 AM
very cool - i definielty sense fear .... i'd like to know how you did it ... how appropriate with halloween resurection coming out this weekend! :o)

I wish you'd been able to hold some detail (veining) in the white part of the eye. I like the overall concept.
07/10/2002 12:45:00 AM
Great shot, one of my favorites - Just a little grainy. also what is the small green spot on the mask? Looks like a dead pixel, Ouch - 9

Great use of lighting, and also like the placement of the two subjects in this photo. Good job!

07/08/2002 05:44:00 PM
So far I've only seen a few photos that really show fear and this is one of them. Well done!
07/08/2002 04:39:00 PM
Yikes! :-)
07/08/2002 03:44:00 PM
Victim does appear afraid, but mask not quite omnious enough. Good shot/idea.
