Comments and critique appreciated. #791236Margie Hurwich November 20, 2007
With the use of the Lensbaby and the wonderful black and white, this has all the makings for a very scary novel cover or DVD cover. Great work! #5101363paola A. Jofre January 30, 2008
Dido for me William :) Did you play with the cross, the whites seem a bit harsh. Maybe if you try to get the cross more in focus. I think it would have more impact. I hope you do not mind :) #5417804William Johnson January 30, 2008
Well done William, great presentation. I agree with Margie about a Novel Cover or Film Title. Bill J. #5418853William Schuette January 30, 2008
Thanks for your comments Paolo and Bill. Maybe I should talk to Steven King and see whether he can use it. In answer to your question Paolo, I intentionally decreased the sharpness of the cross by introducing an infrared fog using Exposure to give it a moodier appearance.Bill #5419754

My bad William, this is the look you wanted :) I still think this shot is great :) Sometimes it's hard to know unless one asks whether or not something was done intentional :) #5420331William Schuette January 31, 2008
Nothing to apologize about Paolo. I really appreciate you taking the time to look at it and provide your thoughts.Bill #5422092
