Great backdrop here. Lots of texture and like the archways with the gargoyles and dracula in his impressive coat. Nice job on the ghostly figure fits well in the shot. Good imagery and good luck in the contest.

A unique and interesting piece of work here! I love the way the 'bride' is opaque and seems to be ghost like.

This would make a great Halloween picture.
I like the minimal color. It helps set the mood, though, I might pull back on the contrast on the stone wall a bit, since light was their enemy.
Thank you for sharing!

    Thank you! I appreciate your review and your input very much. I think about darkening the wall, truth I did the hard light in purpose, thinking of the full moon.

Very cool mixed media image. A good entry for this contest. I really like the effects you have added- the building is cool with the ghost and Dracula outside. Very creative, very cool!

What great effects you have chosen for this image. Love the ghostly figure of the child that you included and the great detailed brick building with the count looking so menacing. Nice, sharp image with great imagination.

This is really a terrific treatment! I love the black and white with the Count's face being in color, and the bits of red in the cape and window. Very very dramatic effect, more so with the ghostly figure. Good luck in the contest! Think you have a winner.

I would take a guess that the sound of music wasn't playing at the theater that night LOL
What a fantastic imagery.
Who doesn't love all those count dracula movies
Well done and good luck in the contest

    Thank you very much for your review and the contest wishes. You are exactly right. It wasn't The Dong of Music. Very different sound were heard in that theater.

First of all, i would like to thank you for your notes which is very informative.

I love your PP works here which takes your image into something eye catching and original. Your lighting here is good and nice balance of light and shadow. Great placement of subject and I liked the expression and structure of his face. It would be interesting if you were to post the original unprocessed photos and allow us to have a look at them. Very well composed and interesting and thanks for sharing this with us.

    Thank you very much. As I wrote in my comments, the potrait photo is property of Mr. Jones. I had permission to use it for my work. I need to ask him to post the original self portrait. If you wish I will post the other original photos in my portfolio after the contest ended.
