This is great, Laurie. Thanks for sharing your technique. It's really sad how work diverts our attention from photography isn't it? :)

Scary! I can even imagine it animated and coming after a bunch of teenagers in a remote place having a party :) Nice one.

Wow well done. I bet you gt marked down for its enormous size tho. If ppl are sitting to close to the monitors they might not be able to see the face. <9>

WOW! Love the muted colors and shadows. Liked to see it a little lighter around the mouth also, but still very excellent. Bumping up.

the lighting is awesome...even if it wasnt the source of the face, it casts a really cool effect on the tree.

Very moody and empotional. The subtle dark colors really help with your mysterious face.
