Right then, a fantastic set of entries and fun as well. This farm could easily serve as a spooky location and I love how you embraced the horror theme that I went with for my version.
I'll give some thoughts on each image and then try and pick a winner.
mariwalt Straightening the image and cropping in nice and tight changes the feel of the image, I like the darkness of the hallway which contrasts nicely with the bright detail you have pulled back outside. Interesting that you chose to remove the chair legs neatening things up a bit.
Kerrowdown Again you went with the straightened approach but keeping it wide this time. I have noticed you flip images quite a lot, it does add a new dimension. I do like the cool unsaturated look to the colours you have gone with, gives it quite a chilling appearance.
astomn What an interesting effect, something I would never think to do, it adds a certain ghost dimension look to the place which works very well. Nicely done.
jmacias Love it! The chains and message on the door certainly take you down the horror route. The edit looks pretty convincing at this scale, in fact the image as a whole to me looks like a computer game. Another great one.
pkboy Self confessed lazy masking is not really an issue at this scale, a great take on the image and well done. I feel like I'm being sucked in.
stevejo Very creative, the figure is perfectly placed and indeed quite creepy. Keeping a bit of translucence and matching the light on the surroundings with the glowing presence makes for a well done edit.
Pelto A good black and white edit on its own but the addition of the screamer at the door is awesome, it just fits so well.
xs400 Genuinely quite sinister, the tilted door frame, blinding light behind and then inky blackness of the figure all add up to something special. Glad we didn't run in to this guy.
tuggie76 Groovy man! Changing tack completely after the horror scenes above, would much rather run in to them through the door. The colourful graffiti blends in well even if the artist looks a bit pasted on. Refreshingly different.
I am still none the wiser... honestly I could pick several of these as the winner but as I have to pick one.
I think as it was the one that I thought was most sinister
xs400 is the winner. Congratulations and over to you for the next round.
Once again great entries all round, you made my job difficult this week.
This is my version
Plus a few more from the day
