What a brilliant subject......! However fo rteh photo has been over-processed.. I know, I know, people will say it's dream like, but just a tad less, more contrast, more sat and some smoothing via noise reduction ( maybe even a blurriness round the oter edges ) and whoa.........! Good find!

Wonderful processing. I can almost imagine Dr. Lecter!

Processing - very cool Subject - creepy and effective General Feel - exactly as it should be. Like it!

There is a scene in a "Farscape" episode that this is very similar to - it was pretty scary scene no doubt about it. A post-apocalyptic scene if there ever was one.

I would like to see this without the tone mapping, not sure its suitable processing for your subject(s). I think some dramatic lighting through the window would help the textures for this alot more than an HDR conversion. 6
