Halloween is my favorite holiday and we really go all out here in the SF Bay Area - I'm into Day of the Dead even more. I love this self-portrait as the devil - great use of some nifty digital tools. :)

Very cool. Especially good job on the ears and teeth! I'd like to see the original pic... please post it.


I found your original image... Great initial image, the yellowish lighting, dark clothes, and facial expression made this one come out really good!

Pedro, i like this shot, but you should remove (or at least hide) the original shot from your portfolio. Edit: I never got to say how much I like this shot. Very well done. You'll be someone to watch out for if ever the remove the editing restrictions. 10

crazy--it's like staring into the eyes of beelzebub himself! :)
perfect for this challenge, actually makes me kinda cringe to look at it, so score for emotional impact! the only thing i might change is to darken the backdrop more.
still, one of the best images of the challenge. 10.

Glad to see someone is using imaging software in an adequate and creative way. miles ahead from the rest of the lot.

Eyebrows, eyes,ears, and teeth are extremely well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/02/2003 08:02:07 PM
is this a photograph ? Either way it's still a great image .
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/01/2003 07:34:10 PM
OMG! How scary! The PS work on this is almost perfect, unless you look very closely it would really make you think it's the devil! The only problems are the 5 o'clock shadow and the fillings, a 7 to start :)

Great shot...would be much better without the red border in my opinion. 8

The points in the head, the teeth, the ears, eyebrows. yikes. This is excellent.

Very Scary! Great composition and lighting. Good positioning of subject. 10.

scarey very scarey, nice effects...well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/01/2003 03:29:29 AM
very scary, no question - the skin tones are off just enough and the elongated ears, face and horns all balance well - glad I didn't meet you
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/01/2003 01:53:46 AM
A very good example of a scary shot - and clearly not just a mask on a person's face
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Excellent and imaginative use of Photoshop. Shame you didn't make the background uniformly dark though. Not sure about your ratio of subject to negative space. Really don't like the red in your border. 7

Excellent picture. I am sure it took you an hour or two to get it right.

Excellent shot. I love the use of the negative black space here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/31/2003 07:01:51 PM
Great clarity! For any other challenge, I'd probably wince a little at the yellow cast, but this IS the Halloween challenge :)
