Shutter: 3.2 seconds
Galleries: Candid, Portraiture

My room is full of non-traditional and unusual decor (mostly oriental and gothic imagery/art/weaponry). These life size bride and groom skeleton statues seemed fitting for the title of that Type O Negative song.

Composition-content
Although I a not usually a fan of this kind of picture, I thought that yours was original and had a strong impact. Your room must be a pretty interesting place! Your composition seems pretty perfect to me, good cropping and only contains the essential@info. Perhaps a tiny bit more space on the right of the picture to include the edge of the fingertips, but this doesn't really effect the image.
Background
Background colour is good here and complements the image. There is nothing distracting in the background and it sets the figures off well.
Technical
Overall focus seems a little soft, cause of the obvious low light situation and the aperture of 2.8. Paerhaps having a slower shutter speed would have compensated and abled you to use an aperture with more depth of field. I think that the colour cast on this picture is one of the strong points, really adds to the atmosphere.
My Opinion
I think that you did a great job with this, very original and could easily imagine this being used as an album cover, unfortunately don't know the song but I can imagine that this would fit well. Hope that this helps and Good Luck in the next challenge!

Cute idea but the pink hues threw me off instantly. It is too bright that it almost hurts the eyes to look at.3.

Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo

Good interpretation of the song. The blue shadows kind of bother me, but it doesn't take away from the overall effect of the shot. Your focus and clarity are ok. The fuzzy parts of the coats seem a tad soft on the focus, not again, nothing serious. Nice shot for the challenge. Good luck.

hope you did the right thing and put the bodies back when you were done taking pictures.
