Skulls forming a skull
Uploaded: September 27, 2011
Taken at the famous Gage Hotel in Marathon, Texas. A HDR image using 5 photos (-3,-2,-1,0, +1, +2,+3 exp) used Nik HDR Efex Pro Tried to keep it as natural as possible with no extreme look. I liked the way 33 skulls were arranged to make a skull as well as all the other various elements of design in this composition. Comments welcome.
Exif: F Number: 10, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 28.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

Hi Emile,Excellent capture.Beautiful detail and lighting my friend!!! #1411276Michelle Alton September 28, 2011
Great find, and you've done wonderful work with Nik HDR--looks very natural. Kind of reminds me in a strange way of early EARLY digital artwork. #9702248Emile Abbott September 28, 2011
