Nice work so far PC, I like the creepy feel (can I see faces in there...?) Don't put blood in there, just so obvious & old hat!! I agree the hand needs some more blending, I think the contrast of the hand & shadow is maybe a bit strong compared to the rest so the hand sits in front of the image rather than being part of it (if that makes sense!) You're well on the way with this, keep it up ; )
