Wow, that werewolf is one hideous and nightmarish looking creature! I like how he looks like he is reaching almost outside of the scene. The light on his fur is flattering. The other elements look good too and fit the theme perfectly. Great tombstone!

    I don't think anyone could have made me happier with their review of this piece. I'm thrilled you felt my presentation of this and my additions to the image created a good mixed media image. Thank you for the wonderful review! :o) helvi

How nice of the monsters to oblige to your surgeries. The all look like escapees from a Hollywood movie. I like especially the big hairy creature trapped behind the iron fence, whatever he is. I think the skeleton is related to who ever is still among the family. The skeleton looks so sad and lonely.
The work you have done with your mixed media tools is impressive. The light and colors work well together. The creation is balanced and well framed. My Werewolf just barked an apprising woooooohhhhhfff. Happy Halloween! He, He,Heeeee

It is easy to see that it is soon Halloween, because a lot of people send art with this theme right now, and the chops are full of Halloween props. I think you are right Helvi, this looks like a werewolf, and you have indeed captured this horrific scene well. I especially like how well you have used the light, and also the colors.

Your photo is also nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in all the items, and the exposure is just perfect.

I also like the items you have added, but I think this photo also would have looked great without. But I suppose you also wanted to use some well know Halloween stuff. The format you have cropped the photo into works well, and it is a good balance in the composition.

A truly great looking and well taken photo with a good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

    I am always thrilled whenever you review something of mine Annie. It truly is a GREAT Honor! I agree with you that the image would have stood on its own without the additions I added, but since I had a little extra room I thought I'd see what elseI could do without overdoing it. I'm glad you ejoyed what you saw and felt I did a good job. Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by and for the wonderful review! :o) Nancy

Cool,Helvi!
Whatever type of a creature it might be I'm having a great time looking at your fine looking photograph of it,my friend!
There's probably not a lot more that I need to say about the scene besides 'Good Show'! : D

A very nice image that looks like a sure winner to me. The monster is perfectly posed dor the addition of the gravestone and pumpkin. Great colors and a fine presentation. Good luck in the voting.

Comment from mamamary


You did a wonderful job creating this image. It looks like it all works together very well. I would have thought it was made this way. I wonder about your choice of a red skeleton? That is unusual. I like the way the light highlights the pieces in the picture. I don't think I will be trick or treating at your house this year. :)

    Hi mamamary, Thanks for the wonderful review. IN answer to your question about the skeleton being red. I was adding a creative touch. On Halloween nothing is normal so why not give the skeleton a new look. :o) He's also red because of the light from the Jack 'O Lantern. I thought it would give the skeleton a more intense look. I don't think anything is off limits when it comes to Halloween. By the way if the fellow in the image is around I won't be at my house either! LOL Thanks so Much for stopping by! :o) Helvi

Wow, what a cool entry for the Halloween contest.
I love the werewolf, tombstone, skeleton, and jack o lantern all together. This has a creepy feel in a fantastic way, as Halloween is supposed to do. I love the creativity and characters presented here.
Excellent work, and best wishes in the contest.
