Can you imagine her feelings in that dark and cold Dungeon?

(The picture was taken in total darkness, with the exception of a brush of lighting
on the model’s right side from a hand held LED flashlight; exposed for 4 seconds
at ISO 1600)
Nice shot John, great use of the frame. Didn't I see this girl's picture on a milk carton a few weeks ago? I'll check the trash and get back to you....
WELCOME BACK!!!! John, I see you are up to your same old perfection. You have been missed and your photography as well. This is a very powerful image, and very creative. I love the black and white and the lighting for all of the reasons stated above. Talk about scary!!! :worried:
Back with a bang . Well conceived, and the lighting conveys your thoughts nicely. The model seems to be smiling just a little . Though that gives the photo a different touch. Maybe she is the reason for the fear itself.
Had noticed you lurking around with your comments, and was expecting a photo for this week. Did not disappoint, welcome back.

Good take on this WA.
Thanks Tom!
My 8-year granddaughter/model found your milk carton comments very funny and she’s very pleased with the favorable comments…

Hello again Jane!
It’s so nice to be back, thanks for the warm greetings and your nice comments.
The lighting was actually very difficult because it was pitch black and it required a lot of takes, but that again is part of the fun that I’ve been missing all these months....

Oh Gotsy, you’re so clever; to set the mood, we were acting up scary stories taking place while trapped in an insane asylum…
Thanks for the comments…
Thanks for sharing
Hi swifty!
Thanks for the comments. I’m glad to see that you are also back in action! I’m looking forward to see some of your work again…
Welcome back, John! You've been missed and now we all have to work that much harder. This is a great shot - a finalist for sure. It's that big, black negative space that really makes it creepy. Wonderful work!
Scary shot. I thought the lighting looked almost like car headlights. Gave it a very creepy feel that someone either just found her, or it was the capturer returning. Nicely done.

Hi Peter, thanks!
If it creeps you out I’m getting the best reward for my work…
Andre, thanks for the welcoming comments, I’m so glad to be back even when I don’t have so much time yet, but at least I’m getting into some form of routine that allows me to hang around here a little more.
Almost total darkness helps a lot with negative space. Creepy is good...

Hi Bob, thanks for the comments!
The idea of the capturer returning is definitely scarier for her, I’m glad you like it!

John, everything is there, great entry! Best of luck!
Hi Jess, thank you!
Most of everything is hiding in the dark and behind the door that is about to open in front of her…
