Very powerful shot. You're so creative and this is a well deserved ribbon.
Post actions
awesome. i gotta say, looking at this at 6 am when i just woke up from a nightmare, creeped the hell out of me.
Post actions
Post actions
Very nice and creepy, excellent job in the tecnical end as well! A friend of mine is the actual actress who plays "Samara" in The Ring 2. She was the stunt double in the original. She's a beautiful lady, 3 hours of makeup everyday to cover it up! I'll have to send her a link to this, she'd really get a kick out of it.

Its great to see you back Gary. I always enjoy seeing your work. Another outstanding and original work of art.

Fantastic concept for the challenge - great job :)
Post actions
A good concept neatly executed. Congrats.
Post actions
Post actions
úúúú mr Kiwiness is back :p
Post actions
How many photo's is this? The arms don't look all that realistic, almost as if they were added to the original image! It's an awsome image although I doubt it was one photo?
Post actions
Oh, kiwi, right dead on (I've seen both movies and this is really like Samara)You could do a publicity for the actual movie :-))
Post actions
OMGosh! This is amazing! You rock, Gary! Now I am going to be afraid to go to sleep.

Wondefully spooky image. The alignment is absolutely spot on! Great job! Too bad for the background though. They're a bit distracting. 9
Post actions
nice composition, interesting effect, but its just not working for me. Too many little distracting elements.
Post actions
Awesome job! Love the expression & pose! Excellent processing too.
Post actions
Post actions
iinteresting shot - like the model and the pose... background really detract from the shot
Post actions
Exremely creative and creepy.
Post actions
Post actions
This concept is overdone but your execution is best I could recall.
Post actions
The colors are amazing -- great composition. Well Done --8--
Post actions
Microsoft Transparency XP? Nicely done. Perfect fit.
Post actions
Very well done. I like the lighting a lot, especially on the model's right hand and left arm. Like the light is natural light coming through a window, with a tree blocking some of it...
Post actions
The hands and especially the left (for me) arm look weird. Alignment is perfect. Colors in your screen look better than the ones outside it.
Post actions
Way cool. Is it legal? I've done this same thing before and seen lots of others but this is one of the better ones. Everything seems to line up just right.
Post actions
Post actions
this is soo cool---curious of how it was done---very creative-9
Post actions
Looks like Joey.
Post actions
Very clever. I like the stairsteps going back behind the subjects head as a bit of visual interest. The lighting and shadow throughout is very interesting and creepy. Well done! 9
Post actions
Great movie....great shot!
Post actions
well done ...very creepy...nice setup
Post actions
Post actions
yeah... almost right except the arms should be infront of the screen rather than coming out from behind :)
Post actions
Nicely composed, good job.
Post actions
This is wonderfully done. I particularly like the lighting around the laptop, giving the whole thing a very dark feel.
Post actions
I think you've done a very good job with your transparetn desktop shot.
Post actions
I have to give you a 10! Awesome concept! I would have chosen a little less grunge on the left, but it is the best I have seen yet! Congrats!
Post actions
Very nice. It must have taken lots of time to get this lined up right. Time well spent in my book. Excellent!!
Post actions
Nice Idea!!! Great composure...
Post actions
Post actions
Been done before, of course, but this is well executed. Was Samara the name of the girl in The Ring? Man that movie creeped me out. Your attempt at looking like her (if this is indeed what you're going for) was great too. The only criticism is the background. Why did you pick the stairs? They don't add to the atmosphere. 7
Post actions
I like this idea. It looks great. The only thing I would change is the dead space at top. Maybe center more on the laptop screen. 8
Post actions
reminds me of a horror movie! great effect!!
Post actions
Wow that is great. How well done. Love it!!! 10
Post actions
that is creepy!!!!!! but very awesome photo, i wouldve cropped out the background, but still a great job!
Post actions
oh I wish I would have thought of this, fantastic! reminds me of the movie the ring though 10.
Post actions
I've only gone through about ten entries, but this is the second laptop shot...interesting. Seems to be a popular prop :-) Nice composition and setup. Dark and grunge seem to work well here on DPC - good luck in the challenge.
Post actions
Good ole Samara. Excellent execution! 10.
Post actions
quite quirky, but fun, effective....I like it. How did you do it? The detail in places looks a bit over-Neat-Imaged.
Post actions
I thought of doing something like this but with the windows backgound in there. You have done it perfectly especially using a "Live" background. Very well done.
Post actions
CREEPY.......... but fun as heck.
Post actions
Post actions
Clever. I hope everyone else can get the movie connection. There are some issues I have with the angles, but everything else is great.
Post actions
The Ring III - man, the first movie spooked me out enough, now I have to worry about Samara coming out of my PC monitor! Thanks a lot! I'm logging off now. <10>
Post actions
wow. creepiness. Tthe colours of the place for some reason make me think of a church, which makes it doubly so. I don't know if it was possible with the pic, but personally I would have liked to see a bit lower of a crop (more desk/computer), as I think the top third of the image is a bit distracting rather than aiding the overall picture. (-: -7
Post actions
oh thanks. now i can't sleep!
Post actions
Wow! rEaLy COol. i aM rEaly envious.
