 Photographer’s Notes
I can claim very little credit for this photo. I was in the mall, saw this display window across the concourse, walked over and put my phone against the glass window, and pushed the photo button on my iPhone 5.

Someone else’s creativity is showcased here. All I did was ‘see’ it and shoot it. Well I processed and presented it, but still.

I’m sure some will appreciate the title. Some may savage the photo in voting because they DON’T like the title. C’est la vie.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hmm....this is one of those pics that make you go...waitaminute...things look a little too perfect, a little too in place...then I saw your photog's notes and saw that you did indeed shoot a window display, someone else's work. The lighting has that peculiar flatness to it that you tend to see in store window displays, which was also a tip-off. I think the crop is a little tight and voters don't usually like portrait crops. The title is a little ambiguous too, which doesn't help.

Ok. Got that out of my system! This was a free study, so of course anything goes. The skeleton dominates the pic but the lanterns clustered around the head draw the eye away a bit, almost to the point of not noticing the pumpkin at the end of the arm. I like the fog effect. That, and a whole lotta dodge and burn, could have been put to use to maximize and minimize the impact of all the various elements here. And it all would have been legal under Advanced!

Hope this has been helpful
