 Obviously a dark, b/w rendition of THE single most famous scene in all of movie history (according to a LOT of people and websites!). I wanted the knife to look like it's coming through the curtain (I didn't actually cut it!)

I like the bubbles. I like the darkness. Otherwise, HM.

I agree. I'm not sure who's giving out those ones, but they are clearly unwarranted for this shot. (I gave you a 7--nice work!)

It's an almost perfectly symmetrical breakdown...

Three ones? calibrate your monitors, people. I can show you a 1. This isn't it.

Nice set up...the bubbly curtain might be better replaced by a plain white one...but enjoyed the shot.

since we can't see the victim, this is totally the most scary of the psycho shots. It feels like you are coming after the viewer, and the dark lighting and exposure really add to that feeling.

My favourite of the Psycho shots this challenge. I would have liked a little more detail w/ the knife and hand.

quite a few psychos this challenge. bet that was a bummer. I really like the texture and pattern on the shower curtain in this and the knife silhoutte is very striking. I think you're going to suffer given the other psycho entries as I am now noticing that this is lacking a "victim," whereas i probablly wouldn't have even thought about it before. 6
