A couple people have wondered how the liquid was spewing from his mouth. Well, first of all this is not a real person. It is a Halloween prop a house around the corner has up on their lawn. They do quite an elaborate display! I had a lot of fun with this in editing as I am definitely NOT an Expert Editing person. I am very pleased to have placed 16th when there are those here who do know Expert editing.

Really scary! How did you do the water? Looks like it's coming form a hose inside his mouth, but I doubt that he's got a hose from his tummy, up through his throat and out of his mouth..
Disturbing - check. Creepy - check. You know, if one had this outside on the lawn as a Halloween decoration all the little kids would walk to the other side of the street to avoid the house. This composition evokes the horror side of Halloween very well. Just two critiques. The glowing green/blue projectile vomit keeps in line with the stereotypical color of vomit and ghostly/supernatural color presentations. But I wonder if it would have been more creepy and disturbing if you had gone with a different color. Red being the color of blood would introduce a whole new level of horror plus red contrasts well against black so it would really pop visually. The last small critique I have is that the spew probably should be seated a little lower close to the bottom lip so that it looks more like it is truly coming out of the mouth.
Truly grotesque -- but wonderfully done! I would have considered cloning out the rectangular light on the left. It's a tad distracting. It doesn't change my vote, however, because it's not that distracting. :) -9-
