 Yes yes this does lack punch. I literally edited it in about 10-15 mins and barely got it in on time for the challenge. So I think it looks pretty good considering, but would be tons better if I gave it the time it deserved.

I think people found it odd or off center because it's a wide angle. I fixed the horizon best I could but it's still a distorted perspective, but I liked that.

I swear when I first looked at this, I thought of it as some special-effects alien coming out of the ceiling to attack the people below - I know I need to be on medication. :) Cool idea, and nicely done.

Very interesting shot...really like the color here. I think the B&W should pop more though...needs more contrast. Like your idea.
