These two young ladies are really very beautiful, but I missed the exposure by quite a bit so this was more of a silhouette than not. A bit like the two girls in the movie "The Shining", yes? I was the "just take some pictures" photographer at a friend's wedding and these two girls wandered out into the alcove next the door of the small chapel. So I took some pictures.
Hmmm.... if you're visiting this post-challenge, feel free to offer why you think it didn't do all that well. I thought it rather appropriate for the challenge and a rather cool pic, too. Still, not complaining - it got what it deserved as far as DPC voting goes - just curious as to why.

I dunno why it didn't work, its a very cool photo. The only I could think that would have made it better is if you had really got the girls to stand completely straight and in the windows and had everything perfectly symmetrical. Other than that, I have no idea, it fits the challenge well in my eye. I guess great minds think a like :)
Creepy if you get the title, otherwise not so much. But I do think most people got the reference. I think a little fill light might have helped fill in their faces (just a tda). Nice capture and a good fit for the challenge. I like the B&W treatment.
lol maybe it was not scary enough? i love the silhouettes and i think the fact that they are wearing white may give this more of a potential dreamy state instead of the freak out stuff. It's a beautiful photo and well done in black and white.
Personally I thought this was great and was secretly thankful you decided not to include an elevator vomiting out a river of blood. :) Probably others might have scored it low because they preferred to see more of their faces.
I think this deserved a lot better. Before I saw the title I instantly thought of the shining and I really liked the shot and it's atmosphere. I gave it an 8
