I hoped for but didn’t expect so many entries. It’s great to have such a wide range of images! It took me a while to decide which one to vote for - such a difficult choice …
Razc:
Most horror film protagonists hope for this. Something is hiding in the dark - if they are lucky it is just a cat! 
(it looks hungry, though)
XArgon:
I guess I would have to watch Matrix again in order to find out which one of them is bending… I almost overlooked the things crawling out of the wall - I guess that is my own fault because of choosing such a dark topic 
khalidsrri:
Nice scenery. I think you could easily have added some story to that one. (E.g. one half opened door + some sort of mysterious shadow coming from of it.)
Ryeath:
I certainly know that situation! One short question: Have you tried moving the lamp closer to the flame’s position? It may help to sell the candle, I guess
TazDevyl:
This one came very close to getting my vote. Actually it was my favourite entry for quite some time. It has a lot of light in it but at the same time matches the theme very well. Nicely done!
Kaluura:
Magical, indeed. Very nice lighting in this one - especially the back light which separates fore- and background.
Staccato:
Another creepy one I wonder if the eyes belong to a prisoner or if it is his hungry ‘room mate’
Thalia Brunner:
Very nice flame. I have been experimenting with macro photography of flames. It is kind of dangerous for the lens but it can be a lot of fun. I especially like the way you captured the different colors and transparency values of the flame. Of course the SSS wax material is great, as well!
Kidus:
Remembers me of my basement Did you use cloth simulation for the blankets or did you model these by hand? Another great entry!
Martin Schurig:
If I had entered an entry this time I might have been thinking in the same direction. I have been watching hundreds of these this summer. Have you used particles for the fireflies? It would be interesting to see how it would look like if you cranked up the number of particles and scattered them throughout the forest
zeealpal:
My personal number two this time. I think this one rocks the “creative approach & fun” department
HELIX:
Nice gargoyle model! I’m a little confused by the shader - it seems to be eroded and shiny at the same time. But who would want to argue with a gargoyle?
revolt_randy:
I must admit that I didn’t really understand that one. But I’m not sure if I wanted to meet that hollow man at night!
mik1190:
Looks useful to me! But I think I’ll wait for the price to drop a little before buying one (btw: nice water drop details)
gregzaal:
This one got my vote. (Obviously not only my vote :-)) Very nice lighting, colors - and rain Would be funny to have 3 weekend contests in a row, which all have a lot of rain within the winning entry!
rawstar:
I guess that light would certainly be an issue if you wanted to grow plants in deep space. Well, if you were running low on light you could still switch to mushrooms
Hatchnet:
I’ve seen worse shows on television. If you walk through the streets in the later evening, watching TV seems to be the current number one low light situation for most people - at least so it seems
RobertT:
Exceptional entry (again)! Brilliant colors and atmosphere. It’s always fascinating to explore what nature comes up with (anglerfish, jellyfish, fireflies, …) if you switch out the lights!
I hope I didn’t forget anyone… What a list!
I’m looking forward to the next weekend.
