I didn't submit this to intentionally get the brown, I submitted it due to the interesting mood I felt it established. Though the blown out nature has hidden the original setting's candid nature, I don't care.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.

I really have a distaste for these types of tones and colors, personally. Just my own preference, but as a candid, I dont see that either. The pp work really obscured this to an abstract.

oh, puh-leeeze. this comment isn't meant to be helpful, unless you want validation that you know how to push things towards the low end. this isn't out of the box...this is throwing gas on a burning box.

I can't even tell what this is, I don't know if you really understand the point of the challenge.

I'm sorry I just don't get it. Am I afraid or is it fearful? Its a scary picture but I don't know if its a shot of fear, or the reaper or just a decomposing skull in a blanket. Its interesting, all right, I think it would have been better if the eyes were more visible.

Nice composition for emotive title and subject. But your artsy poster-effect processing has removed too much detail, and lack of detail usually lowers scores at DPC.

Artistic, but not what I would personally consider 'candid' since you can't really see anything.

the distortion makes it look like you are trying to hide a bad photograph. Less distortion would have made the photo less abstract and easier to relate to. You lose almost all emotion in such an overwellming distortion.

Way too processed for my taste... It makes the photo almost unrecognizable... sorry.

Basic editing? Hmmm
