Plastic skull hanging from a black wire against a black background.
Adjustments: Color Balance, Selective Color, Levels, to blacken background as much as possible while leaving the hand and skull natural looking.
Cropped and re-sized and Unsharp mask applied.
Unfortunately, a little bit of the wire is still visible at the top, apparently a reflection from the light. Darn those "NO CLONING" Rules!

Good idea - and very nice submission. It would be more effective if the hand were a bit lower so there was more obvious seperation. Black background was a perfect choice.
Pretty clever. I'd of liked the light to be toned down or have more of a mystery, spooky feel. It's a little bright for the shot. It's a good entry and creative idea.
really extraordinary.. something is holding the skull up while you lamely pretend to hold it.. if you have to try this hard, i don't understand why you even bother..
