Glow in the dark ET keychain:)) Set against a tinfoil background ( I wear a tinfoil hat at all times to protect me from 'them') with a candle for illumination.
Bit of dodge and burn, Channels - blue- convert to greyscale -send for psychiatrist:)
And yes I chose to make it very grainy/noisy.

Good black point and an alien theme meets the challenge.
Some reviewers may not feel this is a very creative attempt at the challenge topic and vote it lower.
The main downfall of this image is noise. It has a lot of electronic noise that will be interpreted by most voters as a low quality image. This effect is pronounced since it does not have much detail to begin with. This image would benefit greatly with noise reduction applied.
The picture is not bad for the darkness and the softness, since that is helping to establish the reality of the alien. I guess when I look at the picture, I just can't buy the eye points. If they are really in the original photograph, then forgive me, but they seem to be dodges in post processing. However, I still like the photo overall. 6
