And he's looming right over me! I want out of here. I really like the swirling texture in front of the light on the left.

I'm sure I'll be haunted by this. Most fascinating.

I've got a bowl like that, but not as evil ;)

This is great! You not only see the demon but you can feel this demon in this image. Everytime I look at this I see something new as this plays with my mind. This has a posthumous feel for me. If it's not Don I'm sure it is something he would appreciate. Love it 10!

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: An excellent image which communicates the sense of foreboding your title suggests. The sense of two figures a foreground innocent and a middle distance demon is palpable - almost cinematic in its intensity. The focus on those concentric scratches (or is it a web) with all else cast into blurry (and desperate) ambiguity is the key to this image.

Critical stuff: Hardly anything - the slight hints of cyan are a touch distracting, perhaps a pure monochrome edit would have looked a little cleaner.

Overall: Visionary, inspired stuff.

hypnotic but of course it is...the playful hint of colour is really a nice touch, gold hues and scratchy feel...make a great cd cover with the right crop...thinking Flaming Lips or Arcade Fire...

I so love this image. What a great mood and story. Very nicely composed, great balance and lighting.
