Description
And now for something else completely different...sort of.
I've been on this light and shadow kick lately, especially since I am a long term guest in an apartment full of interesting pebbled glass panels in most of the doors. This shot came about shorty after my morning shower. I noticed light shining in through one of the doors and it struck me as...well...a bit spooky in that B-movie sort of way, and so since I was bored, I decided to amuse myself and this is what happened. It takes so little to amuse me.
There is minimal post work here...I narrowed my neck and added a faint hint of a diffuse glow to the glass.

Eery vista but spooky and funny at the same time. It was a great idea to think of this ET-like reference! well done!
What a fun shot!!! I love to see people getting creative and using their imagination in their photography!!! Great job and congrats on LWTG!!!
Highly creative composition; excellent upload !
Congratulations for your selection in LWitG (Last Week in the Gallery – week 45-2007 ) !
Superbly mystical.
Again sublim.. very creativ and perfect Chip!
Fantastic work. I dig Greys. This turned out really well.
This does look other-worldly! :o) Excellent composition.
Superbe cliché ! Cela ressemble vraiment à un extraterreste !
As a child I lived in a house with a pebbled pale green glass front door and it always frightened me to see the strange outlines of people outside. I would imagine the worst scenarios. This very creative work brings back those spooky feelings. CC
Wonderful photo! It is one that if you were walking by the door it might not get a second glance. The strangeness of it wouldn't hit you until you had walked further down the hall and then it might be too late. =-) I really like this!
really wonderful image...sets the mood abundantly!!!
this is so cool....at first glance, i thought it was a 3d render...great work! ;o)
Awesome!!!
fantastic !
Very nicely done! Creative indeed.
It is a very beautiful! Excellent! Five stars!
This is a very creepy image, disturbing for me. But excellent work, real nice photo. -Grayson
I know this guy..he's been with me since I was a child and he has been with my children as well,'bout 50 yrs. now..no kidding! They do follow families .. I grew up in the 50's and 60's when the invasion was at it's peak. My children have been a part as well...sounds too crazy..it really isn't! Excellent art!
Chipka, it is a treat to see your work. I am glad that you like some of mine as well. Thanks! This is one of my favorites.
Great concept and photo. Nice post work. My only suggestion would be to make the fingers longer.
Fantiastic realisation...my only crit is he looks like his waering trousers...perhaps with thin legs also...more 50`s style alien-esque.
Outstanding post !
I just read the nice things you said about my work and i must say to have someone with your talent say thay like my work it really made my day. I love your work and wonder were you get your ideas from at times i just dont know what ill end up with. Thank you. ladyraven.
Ace image but very unsettling. Kind of a: "we've got you now" feeling I get from it. I like it a lot!
perfect !! :o)
fantastic and very powerful image
wow, like everyone else who has taken a liking to this image, haha! this is really cool! that is really eery, haha. good job.
Strange and wonderful. Doesnt look like photograph, almost like a 3d program, with the lighting behind the figure and in the hallway.
Wow...most impressive work....!!!!!
