I wonder how many photos you have taken of this scull. Or perhaps it is not the same we are seeing in your many photos ? I am really impressed about how you change the expression every time using different backgrounds and accessories, and with the pink flowers, this one has got a very delicate and romantic look.

As always you photo is sharp with clear and well defined details, and the exposure is perfect. I also like very much the neutral colored background and the shadings around the scull.

The format and framing is very good and the scull has got a very good placement in the center. A truly lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

    Very good question! I do have acouple of skulls that are similar-but it does appear that this is the same one as "New Moon",I'm not sure if it's the same one in "Always and Forever". I do have another photo using a polyphemus moth that is on a different, but similar skull. Thank you so very much for your intetest and great review!

Yes! Hurry up Spring! That's a ways off for us here in Alaska ! I like the pastel color tones here, very interesting to view, nice detail, the flowers combined with the colors soften the subject , it's a nice composition, your effort paid off ! Well done !

Comment from El-mundo


An interesting and unusual piece that you have composed very carefully here, showing the contradictory and surreal contrast between the white skull and antlers resting in the snow, and the contrasting pink carnations that decorate the cranium of the skull nicely and give a bizarre but surprisingly well suited colour harmony, with the green buds also protruding at the back and adding that extra colour diversity. Great, creative work, well done :)

Hi Shadow Catcher!
What a Super Cool picture this one is,my friend!
( I'm fascinated with 'Witchy' imagery like this! : ) )
And,speaking of 'Witchy' things,the Great Wiccan Sabbat of Imbolc takes place in about a week ( almost at the same time as the Full 'Blue Moon' ! ) so that means Spring isn't all that far off! : )

OK, I love this.

This would make an awesome drawing.

I love the pop of pink and the small amount of green.

I am currently working on a new piece myself.

Love it, thanks for sharing such a beautiful piece.

I see you have been putting deer skulls to good use. I like how in each image, the skull looks blue. Pastel blue and pastel pink of the flowers go well together. Nice composition and framing. Good clarity. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image
