the quality was so crappy because i didnt use my usual camera, but a much inferior one, and because i cropped the head out of the pic at close to 100%. I thought if I converted it to black n white and threw some grain on it, I could get an old movie effect. Anyway, this is part of a viking demon thing in a magic shop in Salem, Massachussetts.

Your choice of subject held LOTS of potential, and I even like your decision to go to black and white. Your image quality is, though, is horrid -- how is this a 95k image? Did you save it from a gif?

The black and white works well. It seems a little pixelated, making me think you either a) cropped it out of a larger picture b)oversharpened or c) didn't focus well and tried to fix it later. There are other reasons, I suppose, but those are the ones I do the most often. :-)

interesting picture but i dont see fear

IMO, the soft focus didn't work. This would have been much more striking (to me) in sharp focus.

Good choice on the black and white. I definitely wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley. Too bad it's so pixelated. Effing Kodak!!! ;-)

excellent black and white... this guy looks evil :) the grain actually makes it look like an image from an old movie.. good shot! = 7 - jmsetzler

I liked the idea, but the quality could be better.

i totally can't make up my mind whether the graininess or oversharpening )or whatever this effect is) is good or not. -- gr8photos (5)

should i be laughing? sorry it just looks funny :-)

Did you over sharpen this? The teeth and shoulder bones have weird little white dots indicative of Photoshop sharpening, in my limited experience. The eyes are quite nice however.

Surreal look, guessing, but did you over sharpen? Skulls don't have tongues. Bizarre, but scary. 7 Swash

focus is off, very grainy image. other than that I really like it. Probably could have captured more at the bottom and left off the open space at the top.
