My truest nightmare, and one I had on a recurring basis after my daughter was born, waking up only to realize that no one is ever getting into my house without me knowing it because of my dog (who barks when car doors close down the street). Still, it comes back on occasion.

I know this nightmare personally. I think you captured it very, very well. I usually think the scores are about right, but this one strikes me as too low. You clearly hit it out of the park with the commenters, though, which is always good - it shows you found your audience. My guess is that people who don't have kids just won't be hit the same way.
Very nice and subtle. I like the shades here and the perfect setup for the theme. On a different note this makes me feel awfully sad by the very thought. Your pic is making me feel so much!
I gave this photo a 10 because I see no technical flaws; I think the color you chose adds the right mood to it and the angle works well too. Most of all I thought it fit the theme of the contest better than any of the others. Great job and thanks for sharing!
this is incredibly disturbing and a nightmare I always have as a parent of two young boys - very well captured image - the perspective is right on the money and the lighting and details included in the image really sell it.
