Nice idea, but the lighting is too flat and dark to have real impact.

Very clever and very well executed, hope that you'll post your process for doing this so I can read up after the challenge! :)

Heh - wonderful and very similar to a scene in "Monsters, Inc." - always a terrifying prospect in the dark at the magic hour of 3 AM.

Wow, good idea! I love the emphasis on the eyes.

this shot is right there as far as the idea goes, but the execution leaves a bit to be desired. I don't know if the eyes are too bright, or that its because they are out of focus, but I find them distracting--which is a problem since they are the point! Its a trick lighting situation because I'd like more light on the feet, but obviously you don't want light going under the bed... hmmm...
