This is scary. You achieved what you set out to do I expect. Great composition here, her being placed in a corner, no where to run, the helplessness. OMG the fear!
Only one thing, the kid seems to be looking away from the person, she seems to be looking to your right.
You know, I like everything about this except for the caption (and since I try to ignore the caption, I won't penalize you for it). A frightening image.
not sure about the title -- all else is very well done especially the shadow and the expression on the child's face -- one of my ribbon picks this challenge
