A fun shot, in a shady location under I-25, on a live set of railroad tracks. Super noisy from the cars going overhead (even at 1AM), so you couldn't really hear if a train was coming... and the track curved. Woo!
I'm holding a meat cleaver in my hand, but you can't really tell, unfortunately. Thanks go to my girlfriend for putting up with being in the location at that time, in the cold, and for doing such a stellar job of fitting the look.

haha what a pair you two make. I love the lighting and the black and white is great. You in the shadows is perfect. I just wish she looked a little scared. I'm guessing she's tough and would take the stalker down :D

I like the shadow and light work. It looks a little over smoothed or noise reduced to the point that it looks fake to me- more like a rendering than a photo. Overall, nice work.

I like the scene and the lighting. The girl looks posed with no motivation.

I would have given higher marks if the girl's hand was not cut off
