Challenge: DPC Album Cover (Advanced Editing II*)
Camera: Canon PowerShot G5
Location: In the living room

Aperture: F/2.2

I have a feeling this is going to scare/disturb too many people to do very well. This is a Twisted Oz figurine, shot from a rather dramatic angle to make it particularly scary. I hope this doesn't fall under the literal representation of artwork category, because I had several alternative images which didn't include anything of the sort.

Editing: Levels, curves, hue/saturation, adjustment layers, resizing, cropping, Neat Image, and text.

Thanks for all the comments. The text was actually anti-aliased, I just forgot to remove my old white text layer from beneath the red, giving it some jaggedy-looking glowing edges; I run in 1280x1024, so I didn't notice until it was too late. Oh well :)

I really don't like you're choice of text, but this is the best fucking photo in this challenge, and I like the name. 9.

Great job with the shallow DOF to isolate the face. Background color and lighting is also exceptional for conveying this scary psudo monter. Well done.

Scary--don't think I would like this music, but very creative cover.

O this is great! I love this. Title and image, you have made them work like synchronized swimmers.

Wonderful idea and image. I think the red text is way too strong though.

The "Ugly Tree" this guy fell out of must have been tall! With lots of branches!
Very good job at matching title and picture.
Well done.

The photo is technically and aesthetically perfect. My only complaint is the jaggies on the text, which can be easily fixed with anti-aliasing. 9!

Really cool, I would definitely see it on an album. DOF and lighting is very good. (9)

I had the same idea for the name, but no plastic creature. Good job!

i like the whole design and picture. the one thing i am not totally sold on is the bright red color for the lettering. everything else in the picture is fairly dark, and the bright red seems a little out of place. i do like how you've lined all the lettering up evenly.

Hehe, great shot :) I'm not to keep on the red text tho, I would have made it blue like the background colour. Still, very cool shot. 9
