First of all, congrats on the top 20 placing. Well I didn´t vote in the challenge and if I did, I would probably have scored it pretty highly, a 6-7 most likely depending on how I liked the rest of the challenge.
I like the look of the image, nice touch to make it b/w. The contrast and sharpness are also good and I do like the composition. The shadows on the wall are a nice touch and the spiders on the bed look real enough. Model oddly enough reminds me of fotomann_forever and I would have thought this was his shot if I were voting :)
I think this is a good shot, just not sure what would make it great or what could have helped the score. Maybe if you had put like dozens or even hundreds of spiders around him, that would certainly have put some more wow factor in the shot, maybe even wider too make the person seem smaller and the bed bigger (or did you use the 10mm of the lens already, then backing up would lead to the same effect of course) to emphasize him being small and helpless against the spiders.
Anyway, again, good shot and could have gone even higher in the challenge in my opinion, would not have been surprised to see it in the top 10.
Very good. I was going to submit one like this, but never got the spiders, but the spider shadows and huge (fake I hope) spiders are a great addition I wouldn't have thought of.
uuh, ugly. I hate that thought of spiders in my bed... perhaps it would have been even better if that person would sleep, and not see, that there are spiders all over. even more ugly...brrrr. but still it's a good shot and well executed.
I like the idea - and the image, but like it better when I scroll up enough to eliminate the wall above the headboard. The facial expression is perfect.
The shadows at the top are a good idea but it makes it look more like toys. I would of cropped the photo thighter because the expression with the black spiders on white sheets are excellent.
looks like you need to clean that house up Leroy! like the addition of the shadows above your head, this reminds me of the Brady Bunch Hawaii episode /9
