This is strange as I already did a review on this item and it shows up as not, so I have no idea what happened - super composition, a very special idea and the way you arranged this skull is awesome as it seems that he is even a total figure walking through the forest, dressed in a dark leave coat - the green lowing moss eyes are spectacular and the entire images is just outstanding - the photograph is spot on in all details, great job

Okay this is really creepy -- but isn't that the point of this photograph? Of course it is, that's why I like it. The skull looks 3-D if you look at it long enough. Initial impact, DOF, creativity, framing, and focus to detail are all very good. Thank you for sharing. :)

What a great skull, I really like the detail of the marks and seams in the skull itself. The way it looks is fantastic. The look and feel of this work of art is not actually scary but more of the skull being a part of nature, the green eyes included. I like the way it fits the scene. And the way the background has a muted view to show what is around the skull. I really like the way this one looks, I think you did a great job with it.

This is fascinating. I don't know how you placed it to make it look like it was not sitting on anything. It appears to be floating in space so makes me think it must be strategically placed digitally on a layer especially since it has water right under it and is floating above the water. The green inside the eyes is obviously added digitally because it looks the same pattern as some of the green swamp area in the background only darkened. It is an excellent mixed media photo and would have made a great entry for the Halloween contest.

    Thank you for your awesome review! I hate to burst your bubble... But I really lucked out on this one... The skull is sitting strategically on a small stump ( a piece of it was showing on bottom left, so I had to retouch that spot) I placed a colour changing led inside the skull ( yes , eyes come in red too... LoL) and as I faded the chroma levels, it was a coincidence the inside of this skull resembled the swampy setting... Regardless I am very happy you like this one! Thank you again !

Good idea which was nicely implemented. Technically, very sound. The sharp focus on the skull with the soft green background works nicely and allows the green to come through the eyes effectively.

Delectable, devilish and fun! Love this time of year and all the fun decorations we can get away with. This is very scary and can only imagine it lit up at night. Great clarity and love how the tight crop keeps it in perfect view.
