 Well, not exactly how I wanted it, but I'll have to settle for it until I get more experience. I really wanted to get some smoke wafting through this image, but despite burning copious amounts of incense, I couldn't get it to work. I suspect the smoke didn't show due to the low light.

Thanks for the comments! This was a good exercise in that it taught me I should consider how a photo will look on other people's monitors.

great spook effect, almost like I really have walked into a dim room and when my eyes adjust an new scene emerges.

Voted earlier in the day, coming back to leave comments now.

I absolutely love the shadow on the wall with the egyptian engravings on it. To me that is what it mysterious. Keeping the statue in the composition lessens the impact of the mystery of what exactly does the creature look like who is casting it.Idea is good but it has potential to be even better. There is just something missing...something that would add to the story and make it even more compelling. Perhaps Anubis could be stalking an archeologist who dared enter a sacred tomb or something else. BTW - One thing to note. I looked at this on the P.C. and later had the chance to look at it on the laptop whose monitor is brighter. The statue almost blends into the darkness with the P.C. while the laptop it is much more visible. With darker images you never how your audience's is seeing it because all monitors are calibrated differently. The darker 'version' I like better because as I mentioned that fabulous shadow on the wall is where the real magic & mystery lies.

its a little to mysterious for me, too dark and hard to make out any detail but nice feel and idea
