"The Cask of Amontillado" (2011 Version) by Edgar Allan Poe

An excellent and very powerful image. Back to comment and bump. The tonal range and the young man's expression, especially his eyes, are great and I like the overall cohesiveness in the picture's tonal range and palette. The unusual position you chose for his hands feels a little strange /unnatural, especially the top one, but I've decided that actually adds something to the image.

Lovely image, back to bump. Still not sure how much I like the tint you chose, but it's not a deal breaker in my score.

Wonderful image, full of symbols. Curious why you chose a hood for the woman, but then I am not familiar with the source of this quote and it may be quite obvious if I was!

Very striking. I love the line formed by the trim on the fabric "cloak" or possibly it's a blanket (?), and also the vignette.

The Black Cat

Comment:
Very clever. I like this a lot. It took a second longer that most images require to grasp, but I like that about it. I'm a bit confused about whether that is an ax stuck in the tree or a chain, or ?

I find this over sharpened, especially affecting the leaves and the grass/gravel in the foreground. The best part is the light on the headstones.
