[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Always trap my attention the skulls sculping in the monateries,churches,convents,cripts and all this kind of arquitectures buidings. For me looks very impresive.
Long time ago some person told me, than this was the way to mark to this places as a special buidings when the Catholic church jugde for herecy in the Inquisition times, I dont know if this is true, however looks so mistery and fascinating to me, thet is the reason I try photographed.
I add this suttil green color to the sephia to give it more dramatism to the dead and the sensation of cold in this representation, I dont know if you can see but has a spider webb too and this makes it more creapy, plus I like the title, don't you think? ;)

I like the single colour tone in this one and the way you have composed and framed it. The work is good and very well presented.

Hola Elias,

Me llama mucho la atencion el color verdusco de la imagen y la falta de nitidez. Creo que esos elementos le dan un sentido mas fantasmagorico a la imagen. Buen resultado con los detalles de la calavera. Creo que deberias abrir una exposicion de este tipo de fotografia.

Elias, I'm not going to sugar-coat this... There's no comparison between this shot and your normal standard of work.
The image is grainy, lacks fine detail, I cannot find the 'composition' Aadiil speaks of (!?!?!?!?!).

I feel like Simon Cowell (American Idol) in saying this- but the whole image is screaming 'trash bin' and I think you're trying overly hard to save a dying cause (no punn intended). Majority of your work is FAR BETTER then this- and I almost find it hard to believe that has come from the same photographer as your other shots.

Sorry Elias, but I STRUGGLE to find anything appealing about it or understand how the two other critiquers can say "it's good".

Sorry...

Dear Elias, the photo could be a bit more sharp IMO (that's why we cannot clearly see the spider web that you mention), but here my 2 smileys go for the macabre of the scene, your choice of framing and most of all, for the dark humour in the title : perfect ! and for the presentation - apart from the lack of sharpness...) Note is interesting too !
Amitiés,
Best regards,
Cath.
