Too posed and contrived to really make me wonder what is happening off screen.

Very grainy with overexposed highlights. The composition is excellent, and with a low filmspeed, I would have scored this highly, as it definately hits the challenge.

I like the composition and the idea but that granulation isn't helping the photo.

I like the idea, and the framing is great.. It's just let down by being too grainy. You can add more lighting, have a slower shutter speed, or increase ISO rating on the camera to fix this. Unless of course it was on purpose =)

Good composition! I like the use of noise in the photo, but maybe just a little too much. Nice job anyways. =-)

To me, the grain doesn't work on her face, okay elsewhwere though.

Very 70's horror looking, good job, the grain and over/under exposure work well.5.

i like the idea, but due to being dark the shot turned out blurry, i think this might have worked better with a flood or flashlight below her face resulting in more clarity.

This is really creepy!

The expression, the dark contrast, the grainess, really helps to gives a great sense of terror. The only I would change is the frame. It's smooth solid color takes away from the feeling that the grainess gives. "10"

The graininess and lighting are perfect here - they seem to convey the message of your shot very well.
