Neat idea but the lack of a hi res and the abundance of jpeg compression distortion kind of kills it for me. Was this straight off of the camera or was there some editing?

somehow, I do not see this as being a picture that is going to go down in cinematic history......

wow, this looks like a picture of a painting. Do you have a high resolution?

somehow, I do not see this as being a picture that is going to go down in cinematic history......and it does not really denote horror!!

yes i can put the unedited version up. i only own a small digital camera so idk if the resolution will be much higher.

>adeincyprus> maybe if the subject matter focused more on the cemetery part of it or if it were in black and white, but i wanted to stray from that idea

you should probably remove that link because it makes it so it is not annonymous anymore. Do this though. Go to the top where it says "My Stuff" and click on "my contest entries" and find this entry and edit it. at the bottom, you'll see a box that says something like "upload high resolution". Check that box. What is does is puts the original edited (the one you have here) in a spot where people can look at the full version ( a big size), not just the small size here.

oo THANK YOU

sorry its in the step by step cus i couldn't find that box

In my opinion, you've got too much going on in this picture. Maybe try to reshoot the picture with only the purple sandpaper showing with the feather in front of it--no blue wallpaper, no wood counter/table, and no whale showing.

thanks for your advice, unfortunately i can't reshoot it. but having a close up on the sandpaper and feather would definitely bring out their textures more. indeed it is a very weird still life =]
