Wow, this is very cool, spooky too, your skeletons have such a wicked look too. Sharen

Oooooo, spooky indeed. Very effective. I wonder if you mightn't have a bit too much light for the subject, though. Then again, I'm often accused of not having enough light in my pix ;-) so that's a pretty subjective comment from me. Anne

Thank you for the comments. I did not want it to dark, because then lost the skeleten textures/bump details. tried to use torch as main light source. 2 small radial lights (set to 10 intensity each) to bring skeletons out of the shadows.

The green fog/mist in the background looks a little too uniform to be mist/fog in a forest swamp....maybe its just the bright light on it or maybe it needs a texture gel effect.....really like the tree texture.

Greeting Sipapu, I took your suggestion and darkened the picture a bit. I have place it under the Bryce Gallery. Thanks for your input. Greetings Kate, I was looking for a Artistic background fade-out, instead of a photorealistic one. I saw this method done in the Bryce Gallery here over 2 years ago and wanted to try it. Thank you for comments. peace jquest

Cool looking picture. Will stay away from this swamp while I am still alive.
