Description

This was my entry in the iw43d.com contest - a version of Jack the Ripper and his victim strongly influenced the analysis of FBI profiler John Douglas. Douglas felt the Ripper was Aaron Kosminski, or someone like him. No prince or doctor, but a personally and socially inadequate man, who gained control of his victims not by charm, but by surprise attack.

Jack looks a bit drunk here, stumbling towards his victim.

I like it, but I think some shadows would help to "sell" the background and figures as being one whole. Maybe some fog too.

A very suspenseful scene. I agree that a few shadows would help make it more realistic. And, yes, fog. London fog.

Thanks, I appreciate the comments! I did try to put fog in. But the atmospheric settings I used made the image look too bright and washed out if I made it too "foggy." And they made fog props invisible. I should probably try to postwork some fog in, but I'm pretty new to Photoshop, and wasn't sure how. I'll go in search of a tutorial.
