 Going Down, Next Stop Hell.

Don’t have many nightmares manly good dreams. There is one that I do recall that I was falling from a great height and the more I fell the redder it became, and then I woke up.
Whether this meant that I was falling towards hell or not I do not know, this image has always been in the back of my mind.
The front door to our home has a security gate/fence around it, and I thought this could be used to appear as a lift, using a rubber head I created it as the devil, with me wearing a pair of weird glasses to enhance the look of horror of being taken down to hell.

The Raw file was opened in Light room and cropped, With Auto tone applied and a small adjustment to the tonal curve.

Good nightmarish quality... nothing makes sense in nightmares. It also made me laugh so maybe you were also going for that too! Very unique! Excellent!

Not particularly material for a nightmare as this image is more laugh out loud funny than scary. A good image, well detailed and hey, what the heck - a good job even if it missed that mark slightly.
