 Not sure how this one will do, I wish I had not used 2 different coloured gels when shooting then I could have worked on the colour of the light a bit better, I did a B&W version that I like but thought the Thumb of the colour image was much more dramatic.

Using MAKs idea here but want to get a feel for my image scores:

Est Score: A Low 6
Dream Score: 6.5+

It's actually not my nightmare it's one my wife Liz has fairly often especially when I am away on business, she has been known to lay awake at night (all night) listening for the slightest sound that may show signs of a psychotic intruder in the house.

well, im really not sure what i think of this. every time i come to look at it i try and leave a comment but am not sure what to say. it seems like a mobster type guy, but the knives dont seem to fit. maybe those mini machine guns they used to use in the 20s would have worked better. i dont know, it seems very well done, the lighting and setup, but i still feel that something is off. ill probably come back with more commenting later

A classic horror meme properly lighted with red and offering a terrifying visage of the knife wielding maniac.
