This is definitely one of the top three photos of this challenge, people are insane to have scored it where it ended up! >:-{

I really like the erieness (sp?) of this photo.

I'm going to need it to get anything out of these stairs...

I like this a lot, makes me think of my childhood and being spooked in places like this. Loads of atmosphere, great photo =8

i like how the darkness engulfs the staircase.

Very effective composition; it makes a striking, artistic sort of image. Looks a bit soft, but that was probably your intention. 7

This is a fine photo. There is just really nothing that makes it a great photo.

This is one of my favourite shots of the challenge and IMO should ribbon. I like the transition from dim light up, to darkness below. I think you've captured what the best horror movies try to capture by not showing the beast, but leaving it to the viewer's imagination. This photo doesn't even need a title, as it is very apparent. Good luck!
