My son is seriously the coolest 10 year old ever, and I am lucky to have him. Not to mention my husband, who not only posed for an outtake (unheard of) but ARGUED with me hot and heavy when I insisted we just go home, spun the truck around and marched my hiney back to the site to take this shot after we had left this site 20 minutes before, finished wrangling all 4 kids back in the car, was twisting ankles every wich way on the broken concrete, already braved the bugs and the creepout factor, and then I yelped "Dark Prophecy! That's it! Dangitall! Why don't I ever think of these things when I'm there! ARG!". Supportive doesnt even begin to describe them, they just rock. xoxox
Taken at the WWII Prison Camp ruins at a Wildlife Management Area near my town. There is some incredible grafitti, and my favorite out of the way place to shoot. My son was standing in one of the cells where the ceiling had fallen through. The acting was entirely his own creation.
**Post challenge - *sigh* never in a million years would I have thought that adding a border the same color as the background be considered "adding an element".
Krytas response was to be crushed for five minutes, then to ask what the next member challenge was. I'll take his example - and avoid borders completely in the future.

i gave this a 7, too bad about the dq! a lovely piece, very well done indeed.
it's great that your son is a member here too, and that you're encouraging his work. it's looking very good so far. i hope my son will be as interested when he's a bit older (he's nearly 3). he does ask to take pics, so i think i'm going to resurrect my little point and shoot for him!
Amazing shot!! DQ or not, you put together an amazing image here. Your composition is terrific, exposure control is nice and your post-processing is top notch. Very, very well done. No need for embarrassment. I am sure that it will eventually happen to us all.
Sorry about the DQ. As I said in my original comment, I was sure this would ribbon, and I gave you my only 10. I've added this as a favorite. keep up the good work.
This photo is so well done... the model looks like he is trapped in a well with demonic images on the walls.... keeps my interest and makes a great movie photo!
Perfect. This should ribbon, for sure. Great shot, great idea, great background, perfect lighting, great title, and a great pose for the model. Very well done. A 10 from me.
Fantastic editing, the blown-out light source is integrated nicely with the dark grunge of the hole and the model remains very real looking. Excellent 10
For a number of reasons I wouldn't care for image as "just" a photo, but put into the context of a movie poster, it is fantastic!!!!! The blown out highlights, the too-dark areas, some serious post-processing somehow all comes together into a VERY successful poster - and the great title adds to it, too.
Great! I want to see this demonchild kill a bunch of adults and then act all innocent later, until finally Dennis Quaid starts to suspect something. Will he be next? Great energy and (diabolical) feeling to this shot.
