Halloween skull lit inside, in a forest swamp.56 total reviews
Comment from Lynnette Smallwood
This is definitely Halloween. It looks like the trees are upside down or a reflection. Mean looking character. I like how you have put the green in the eye and mouth to give it that three dimensional look.

Thank you for your great comments and taking the time to review this one!
Comment from Life is but a dream.
Simonka, again I welcome you back to FAR site. I also welcome in seeing your creativity which is inspirational.
With this upload the main anchor point cannot be missed but where it excels is in your manipulative handling. Those eyes using the same hued colours as background, similar in colour yet not similar in texture is the glue that holds us in your image. It is done very well without any bleeding and I see you have green subtle hues throughout the skull namely around the jaw area. In photography and art it is often the subtle where the magic lies and your subtle touches punch this skull out for us.
The background has been kept blurred enough but not so much as to rob the story of the image. The background adds to the voice of your presentation.
I really like you POV because it has a very strong 'looming' feel, coming at me and I can't stop it from coming at me....kind of sensation.
This image has been thoughtfully framed for although we are looking down this skull seems to have a life of it's own and it's own power.
It's freaky.

Really, really love the concept and the setting for this skull. I do have issues with the eyes. A skull is solid on the back side so you wouldn't be seeing what appears to be the background green and texturing in the eyes. Now..a red glow with that texture would look very, very ominous.

Thank you for your great comments and taking the time to review this one! I will solve the issue with the eyes for you...it is a hollow skull with led's inside to light it up! As for a red glow...I can do that too..I put a colour changing led inside and took shots with the many different colours, red being one of them!

Sharply captured, this skull is an excellent subject for the Halloween contest.
Just add a little dramatic imagination to make this more cinematic as opposed to being commercial, then you've got a very impressive entry.
Sharp focusing.
Great lighting.
Compact cropping.
Thanks for sharing.

I like that it was placed in a swamp. Makes all the more mystery. Great clarity and lighting. Can't imagine coming up on this at night. I like the texture on the skull. Very nice and eerie image!
