Description
------------------
Ok, my original Halloween image may not have kept you up nights figuring-out how I 'did' it (or even why I did it)---but:
Being a full-service guy, I thought I'd show you where it came from. (Please zoom:)
The top one is the Original:
A so-so shot, but I keep those 'cause ya never when ya can't use them...
The 2d shot shows the area chosen for my Halloween image: Inside the blue rectangle.
The 3d is my Halloween image (only smaller):
My method:
I manipulated the hell out of it, stretched it, carved it---this is categorized as "torture" by the Geneva Conventions---then added space on the left. Then I stuck a sphere in the lower left corner. I have no idea why. Some things just need spheres...
The final variant: I created it just now. And I like it better than the previous one...
(For refunds, send me a copy of your receipt---plus $5.00---and I'll send you something, though I'm not sure what...)
That's all folks!
Back to commenting...
(Btw, that first image? Those aren't decorations: Those are my actual neighbors...)

LOL you manipulated the hell out of it! Aah that's the trick. But those tombstones, they are so fascinating, and as someone from the Netherlands, which not celebrating Halloween, it's more than spooky, because it's like I hear a whistle whistling wind between all the bones of his rib cage (or maybe it's a she), and don't forget the skull

Proof that you can take a diet too far. Quite the display. Now that I've seen the original I'm even more impressed with the post work on the black and white image.

Those are your neighbors?? I'll bet they're a hellofa lot of fun at a party!
A great and colorful series of images, Mark! And I love the visual torture you put Mr. Skelly through - even though he couldn't feel it... You still made him look awesome - and yeah, you've gotta watch out for those darn pesky spheres. They do like to sneak into images - just to 'round' things out, I'm sure.

You have very interesting neighbors Mark. Such a cool front door decoration.We don't do much for Halloween at all worse luck. I love how you have put it to use to make your amazing Halloween pics. I agree the second one you did looks fantastic with very scary looking lighting and colors. The first one reminds me of the Australian Aborigine when he is at his corroboree , they paint their whole bodies a little like this and when they dance it looks amazing, like dancing ghosts. I wont ask for any refunds lol, as I think you have made amazing images out of the photo. :)

Wow ... somebody goes all out for Halloween! It reminds me of the days when Lance used to turn the yard into a spook-fest. I bet they'd like what you did to their decorations in postwork. :)
