Coulorphobia? Is that a fear of clowns? If it is you defenitly titled this one right because you made me scared of them! I like how his head is tilted and how you captured the feeling in his eyes. Great Job!

Nice dynamic angle and tight crop. Could be a little sharper on the eyes though to really make the image sing.

I know you made the lighting a sickening yellow to add to the effects and guess what? It works! Omg this is terrifying!!! Really good job. I can't get over the icky teeth and his eyes!!

Oh wicked! Good old Rob Zombie would love to add this clown to one of his movies. Nice job!

Oh, that's just not pretty! Another one for the clown-phobic. Angled composition is great and the makeup on the teeth is a particularly effective touch. I think you could have cropped off the light blob on the right without losing any impact, but that's a relative nit. Well done.

Intense and ghastly: you have captured the malevolent undercurrents of every clown I see. I loathed them even before I read "It." Great use of compositiion ("rule of thirds"). My focus is drawn and locked into the exact place(s)- primary then secondary - that you want your viewer to notice. Brilliantly horrifying image! 10

Where can I hire this clown for a birthday party? Great shot, the twisted angle of the head goes with the twisted clown.

Scary and needs a good dentist - the lighting is a bit harsh - but otherwise good in a sad scary way.

Very effective pic. Well done, and I'll score it very well.. but I can't ever look at it again. Which I'm guessing was the desired effect!
