Didn't turn out quite like I'd planned, but it's still okay. This looks SOOOOO much better before the resize to 640 !! Normally I don't seem to lose quite so much detail, but the difference on this one was drastic.

Ok here we go a slightly morbid shot :) I like the idea. The scythe is backwards and while I understand what that gains for the shot it isn't how one holds a scythe if they are going to use it. The death wings lighting is a bit harsh on the bottom side and might benefit more from full lighting.

Very sharp focus and detail. I like the contrast between the dark background, and the light color of the skeleton and the blade.

All the dead space on the left really pulls the life from this picture. Also the bone is losing detail from blowing out in places. Good idea.
