Much better than the movie!

LOL... I remember that movie. Pretty funny, but a good chop

Cool chop n lighting friend. Love the atmosphere

fantastic nice done one of my fav gl author

wonderful work -- mood light all are great

Thank you Alan

oh my i would diffidently wet my bed. LOL very nicely executed

creepy cool poor kid i dont wanna be at his place fantastic work

This is very good, the little boy should close his eyes for sure when this critter is in his room

perfect

You followed the idea real well. Nice concept, and yes, it is really scary. Good luck. It is nice to see this kind of work in these contests for sure.

love the feel (The movie that freaked me out as a kid was Phantasm, I still see it in my minds eye) wonderful creation

The only thing I can complain is the length of the boy's body should be only 4/5 of the current one, which can be guessed on the form of the blanket. Considering his head, you can estimate his body.
Also I wish that I can see more details and sharpness in your image. But it's just the minor thing.

Congrats!

congrats

Thanks all

Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats sir....Next round is your winning round. Hope I will give proper competition to you...

the motion blur is from the wrong angle, this makes it look as thought the "snow is coming up from the ground... ;] good luck!

i correct.perhaps

no, my friend, not the shadow, the blur that is at the bottom left of the balls of snow. indeed the shadow would be the same direction as your light source, so it should be on the bottom right. the motion blur is going to be at the top because that is the direction of travel. think of it this way, an object isn't going to leave a trail where it hasn't been yet. i hope that makes sense. good luck!

very good work..

i like the weird image but i would have presented the floating pond in a different manner . it looks like a flat blueish surface copy pasted on, i would have tried embed it in a cloud or something..

@ Eladine: You can clearly see how the sphere was made in the SBS. It certainly isn't flat looking.

it does... sorry but a sphere is round and since its transparent you would see the other side of the sphere.. (light/reflections) which i dont see with this one..

Oh please...
The reason you don't see the other side of a translucent sphere is because of the reflections on THIS side.

It's FANTASY...You certainly can't expect to apply "real world" expectations to EVERY entry you look at. I think you're grasping at straws, Eladine. The "lake sphere" looks FINE.
Re-read the contest description. This is an "odd" combination of elements, which is all the contest calls for. Anything more is up to you as a voter to perceive or miss...

The perspective of this entry is incredibly unique! Just that alone is pleasing! Add to it that there's some honest strangeness of a subject, along with really nice execution of the water and lighting...and this is quite pristine. The only thing I'd like to see would be to lighten the hand and sleeve a bit. Looks a bit dark against the bright banana. (Good band name). Great job, author!

don't tell Glenn Beck or Fox News.. you will make them cry

(and here comes the thumbs down LOL).. not from you author.. but from the creepies that be LOL.. great work and good luck

cool piece and interesting news author...gl
