 - Shot the image. I had some problems with the light, but in the end I was satisfied. I have used a slow shutter, since I wanted just a little motion in the picture. I did not want clearness and overview but frustration, emtiness ans sorrow.

- Converted the image to greyscale
- Crop
- Shadow, black and fill light adjustments
- Export to JPEG

I like this shot but think that it could have been stronger without he motion blur.

The eye should be in focus. Great idea though.

Would have got a better vote from me if the eye was in focus, but nice idea and picture :-)

I like the concept! I wish it were a little more sharp, but I like the picture itself!!

nice idea, it just seems a little blurry, but that may have been intentional?

This would have been really cool if it wasn't so blurry...

A sharper focus would have made this a bit more effective, I think. Technicals aside, I find myself wanting to poke a pencil through the keyhole, which is why I assume you call it painful.

A little less blur would make this better
