Looks like someone was watching TLC. Good dramatic lighting. The hook would've been better silver, but we can't have it all now can we? Nice pic, good luck - Inspzil

I think this legend is told at every child's first sleep outside party. Then you spend the rest of the night with the flashlights on. Pretty good picture and pretty good acting. Not bad for a 6.

Good to see a real urban legend getting a look in. This has been beautifully thought out and set up. Was going to give it a 9 because I've given out a lot of 10s this week but what the heck... 10 from me. Great job.

This classic urban legend was done very well. The shadow of the hook on the car was a nice touch.

This was my first idea for a photo too! Problem is, new cars have lift up door handles, not conducive to hanging a hook from...lol. Great shot, great expression. 7 kathleenm

Although I'm not familar with the legend or superstition this depicts, I really like the picture. Your model did a good job showing emotion. I like the shadows. Very well made. In the meantime, I will be looking up this one. 9
