Fun shot with good background. Might consider adding more contrast. I'll bet the wraith will jump out.

Very spooky!! hahahaha - great shot! Your DOF is perfect on this and just the right setting for this Grim Reaper!!

Comments appreciated. Thank you for looking.

I clicked on "Gallery" and this was the first thing I saw! Think I'll watch my back today! -Anthony

The whole image is soft, but that's what has given this photograph all of that serious drama and this very amazing form.

 

I really enjoyed viewing this work and wishing you all of the best

I also wish there was more contrast. Othervise very good. Aslo I like that large dark cloth draws more attention towards its hands and skull... No ratings, a s l a

Thank you everyone for your comments! This is how I learn.

 

As for this photo, it is an old one I did on film and scanned in the print as is. I will attempt to correct it as indicated and repost later.

Thanks again!

 

This is such a compelling image I couldn't resist re-jiggering it a little in PS to emphasize the powerful mood you captured.

The steps were

1) Hue-Saturation>Colorize at about 204 with a 50% desaturation level

2) duplicated the image layer, offset the underlying layer about 10 pixels, and then used a reveal all layer mask to selectively paint through the face and edges to create a slight "blurr."

It's because of guys like this that I never go out at night without a wreath of garlic and a wooden stake--jim

Wow! neat effect. Thanks for sharing Jim. And don't worry, if you actually saw the guy under the mask you'd probably laugh (at the comparison). He's a friend of mine who is really short and kinda nerdy (not meant in a bad way- almost all of my friends refer to themselves as nerds). But not at all scary without the mask! He was a good sport to model for me though. So - no need for garlic. :-)
