This is exactly how one of my clown nightmares went! Very scary! I really like the lighting on the clown's face also. Good (but disturbing) picture! :)
oh gawd...I guess I didn't know I was so afraid of clowns! Your image is terrifying. Nice job! Well-executed with a huge creep factor going on here! Good use of lighting to achieve your effects, btw.
Overall, I like this... the eeriest part is that the window and blinds are exactly like in my office. I guess I won't be doing any late nights for a while! My only mark against this one is that I wish it were easier to see the person sleeping.. even on my brightest monitor it was hard to tell what it was.
i think the front bit on the bottom of the photo is too distracting, i would rather see it cropped more to the clown, then it would be rather scary and interesting
What is it with all the demented clowns in this challenge!!! Good lighting and composition and no possibility of a viewer misinterpreting the clown's intentions ;-) Nit: the knife should be a little farther up in the air so we can see the nice, sharp point on it. A glint on the slightly-repositioned knife would make this sublime.
