Comment by CNovack:
Some of my writings cause the flesh to flush pale
Six feet under vistas while alive is one such tale
Interred in my grave I arise,
With every reading my spirit never dies.


The dark and pale colors lend to the spooky and eerie feel of the composition. Nice touch to have the ghastly hands reaching out from the grave with the name of Poe inscribed on the tombstone. It is as if Poe does indeed try to claw out from his grave much like the narrator in the his short story. Very well done.

...said she blushing! Really beautiful NG shot.
Very hard in FS to separate the technically good from the daring, moody ones or the NG ones, candids ... While I truly admire the insect macros I just want a little more, and I think that you got it here.
