Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1

Taken at the last minute Sunday evening. (It's hard getting the time, and the child together to shoot!) Didn't convey quite the sense of childhood fear that I was hoping, but it's getting submitted never the less.

a subtle light source from the closet would add more interest.

Probably the most terrifying of the bunch to me: The obscene darkness of the photo along with the vague subject is a perfect match for tingling that kid-time fear of nights.

I'd probably really like this if I knew what I was seeing -- maybe some low, soft lighting to help us out here.

Dark but still an interesting shot.

This one should remind us all of at least one night. Good lighting.

spooky

This is definitely a neat photo... things that go 'bump' in the night were a fear for me as a child. The only improvement that I may suggest for this photo would have been to have a light of some sort behind the door for some added effect... I think you did an excellent job of creating the lighting for this photo. good work! = 8 - jmsetzler

i think the darkness is a good idea but there are conventions for conveying the idea of 'darkness' without making a picture that is difficult to see. spotlights on important details, work, and shadows from interesting angles. mag 99

Extremely subtle. I like it, even though it's almost too dark to view, cool idea. Maybe a nightlight is needed here. 8 Swash

Just dark enough to be realy scarry. Is that a baseball bat and glove leaning on the door frame, that is the onlything I see that detracts from a perfect picture. One of my top ten picks thi9s week.

i would have been a little better if it was just a tad lighter .. i understand that you are trying to protray the night time ... but maybe even a nightlight glow and a shadow or something could have helped :o) .. cute concept though

Even though you are trying to show night, a little illumination was necessary for this. Maybe could've made it look like moon light coming thru a window or something.
07/10/2002 10:05:00 AM
Good shot. I think if it were mine I'd crop out the furniture on the right.
07/10/2002 04:14:00 AM
Good idea. Did you shoot it dark or make it dark later?
07/10/2002 01:25:00 AM
Well done - the door is leaning to the right just a little too far for my taste. I would also like to see just a little more light, not much. (then I would probably put it right back where you have it). Good Job.

Very very cute idea.
07/09/2002 10:48:00 PM

07/09/2002 07:32:00 PM

07/09/2002 05:20:00 PM
Whut thu...?
07/09/2002 04:15:00 PM
Great idea. "9" Dogman ;]

Great picture, would be nice if it was a tad lighter though
07/09/2002 10:38:00 AM
adorable! I would have liked a little more light though. 8 Lisa

i like how the camera is low to the floor. very deja vu feel!!
07/09/2002 09:03:00 AM
kinda creepy.
07/08/2002 11:41:00 PM
A little bit of scary light, perhaps shining through a window onto the wall, would really make this a top notch photo. Still a good one and interestingly creative. - 8

Good job on a cute photo. My only suggestion is that It could use a bit more contrast.
07/08/2002 07:19:00 PM
I bit lighter this would have been a very good picture
07/08/2002 05:36:00 PM
Needs to be exposed more, way too dark.
07/08/2002 02:28:00 PM
I can relate
07/08/2002 11:16:00 AM
nice : )
07/08/2002 10:20:00 AM
