My favorite of the challenge: I must confess that I am quite surprised to see it at that position. It is easily worth a ribbon in my opinion: creative, tells a (fun) story, great use of DoF, great acting, perfect processing, it has it all!
I would have been tempted to crop it down for the top just a hair, probably part way down the guys forehead. I also wish the guy wasn't smiling, because this is soooo creepy when you first look at it. But the smile makes it less so. :)
But very creative and I like that he almost disappears in the darkness. :)
