Excellent shot, both on its own and for the challenge.

The shadow was intentional - actually enhanced it to make it look like an intruder.
I think it's funny (interesting) how the different opinions play out. Thanks again for the comments.

Was the shadow of the man on purpose or accidental during the shoot? I think it fits perfect, like you say in your description. I don't know about everyone else, but there's always a subtle unseen presence in my nightmares.

The longer I stare at this, the more the ground around her moves. Pretty trippy! 8

Powerful image, but I don't find i "nightmarish".

An excellant concept well executed. The mind can see what the author attempted and it works. Well done.

Nice take, it truly gives the impression of sinking into....

too bad there wasn't a way to blur the girl so she really did appear to be sinking/spinning. Like that her back is to us. 8
