 My brother in law starring as Jason. I asked him to help me and he was all for it. Smoke is a combination of steam from the shower and incense. 1000 watt worklight in the background. A hockey mask that was the only one even close that I could find. This would've been an easier challenge closer to halloween. Post processing is just turning down brightness and contrast up. This will be a picture that will fall on its face if monitor's are not calibrated well. I think its pretty good... we'll see what you all think. Oh and also thanks to my son, who turns 7 on the 7th, for helping me with the lights.

Like the back lighting here, very effective but you've still picked up lots of detail from the mask as well. Good job.

I like this shot even though I don't like the "Jason" movies. Composition is good as is the lighting. Everything pulls together to make this a very creative photo.

Well set up shot of a popular movie that is easy to identify. Good luck Jason.

I think I watched every episode of Friday 13th, that was years ago. I do remember I sometimes got scared shitless watching it :-) This is a good depiction, good job with the lighting. I don't think it is too dark at all, although you'll probably get some comments saying it is. I like it.

Nice pic and thought but looks too unrealistic though. Looks like Jason has posed for a photo.

Just enough of the mask to make this a scary shot. good lighting - very good image - be proud of this.

My voting criteria for this challenge are:

1. Did you capture a scene from the movie (as the challenge brief states) or did you enter a picture and fit a title to it.
2. How close a rendition is your image to the movie.
3. How does the image stand up in its own right.

In this case:

1. Unless you walk around all day looking like that I assume you set this up speciffically for the challenge. Well done.
2. Very good representation of the look and atmosphere of the film, this could almost be a publicity still.
3. The lighting and exposure is very good. It appears that you took a lot of effort over getting the lighting and mood right (you'll probably tell me that it took you 5 minutes). Would it stand up in it's own right though? Probably not as it's too closely tied to the film, which must mean that you've meet and fulfilled the challenge.

Overall a very good picture which meets the challenge. 10

This actually looks more like part III to me, he's not showing enough character development for part VI. I'm kidding. great shot - like the backlighting and the setting. Good thought shooting it from below - adds nice perspective.

Just needed a little more light on the mask.. That mask is such a signature of those movies. Good choice..

Awesome job! Well done!

Hey, this looks better than the movie! Excellent job of "recreating a scene." It was a hard thing to do, and you did it, even down to which movie it was from in the series, and the smoke in the background. Nice job. 8
