Skulls forming a skull

Uploaded: September 27, 2011

Description

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

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. #9702248
