The Day of the Dead is celebrated in San Francisco by the large latin population. The parade this year was on Nov. 6. It is by no means a morbid time, but a day to celebrate those who have gone on before.
A good site to learn more about this beautiful tradition and holiday is this Wikipedia entry: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead

Dia de los muertes! Very fitting idea to represent this challenge. The only thing that bothers me is the composition of the candles. Seems like the images might have been stronger if they acted as leading lines toward the skull. Just a thought! Well done! 8o)
