This is a bit creepy but very good. You have very good lighting and I love the snake stems on the candles; also the translucent look to your metallic surface as if it were a little surreal; well done.

Comment from Angelheart The First


No sixes yet but it's worth one for sure I love the silver goblets and the spirit sneaking from the corner of the painting.I'm going to have to say that the best of this composition is your creation of the beautiful silver goblets.
Great work,as always Shawn.

Great piece of art here
Love the three candles and then those mesmorising eyes appear
The whole composition is fascinating
Very creative indeed
The eyes seem to be coming from the smoke form the candles
Well done
Thanks for shairng

Fantastic story telling. Magical creation with the fire and smokes stirred by the breeze.
Love the snakes wounding themselves around the gobblets, and those eyes....
Wow.

Comment from Raphael Photography


You are so clever. This is a great composition. The eyes look good , it looks magical to me . It doesn't look evil, which I like :) Good presentation and tech skills. Good work.

    LOL. I have a hard time trying to make things look really evil, I like your idea of magical better. That's fits with Halloween too. Thank you, Rapheal, for the super review :) Shawn

This is very apt for this competition. You have used a lovely DA technique here. Your rendition is good and the way you have composed it, is appealing. I like what you have created here. It is a really well thought out piece and has great colour. All up a really nice piece of artwork.

Good title and story. Background is nice with the eyes and dark color. Good imagination. Fire and holders stand out. Good show of serpent figures on the stems. 'Enjoyed.

Lots to see in this. The blue and silver tones work really well fore this subject. The fires look so real! An air of mystery perfectly created. Nice work!
