 This was my almost last minute idea. Got my brother to draw the outline and I cut it out and attached it to a big lego tower, unfortunately you can see a piece of it near the bottom of Nosferatu. I didn't notice this til after I had taken the shots. Same with the railing bending together, that side of the cutout was a little flimsy and it bended inward. If I had something to hold it up all the rails would be parallel.

I'm a big fan of horror movies and I was thinking of shadows and Nosferatu immediately popped into my head. Didn't get a chance to try it out til about 11 though. Everything worked out alright.

Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hello Andrew, I̢۪m Alan.

I think your second comment sums this image correctly, when you where just short of accused of a screen capture. I see in photographers comments you had a problem with your railing, but I think it fit̢۪s the inspired scene well. Improvements there are few. One being the possible use of yellow transparent plastic sheets with a cut out in the center to give it that yellowed border, and added noise in PP (legal in basic) to give it that film nor look. Overall I think this was well presented, Thank You for giving me a fun image to critique this morning..
If you have any questions on my insights please feel free to PM me.
Alan.

Finally one using effectively the shadow as the subject (out of those that I have seen so far)!

Hopefully this is an omage to Nosferatu and not a screen capture. Well done.
