About This seems to be my day for uploading macabre images. The background for this photo illustration was created from skull photos taken in the Paris Catacombs. The character in the foreground is a detail from a sculpture at the entrace of the Neuberger Museum on the campus of Purachase College in Westchester Country, NY. The manipulations included, appropriately enough, application of the Tormentia filter as well as layer blending, desaturation and colorization. One very good photographer, a physician, remarked that she found this image humorous because of the apparent smiles on some of the skulls. Your thoughts and reactions would be much appreciated.

The B&W is nice, but the blue tone is what drew me here in the first place. It gives off a sneaking-in-the-dark-under-a-full-moon kind of look.
Excellent job mergring the photos together... I would have never noticed!

I agree with Mary. Blue to me is a relaxing colour, I would have liked to see this kinda red or something. But it's a great work anyway!

too silvery and cool - I still want it grittier - how about some grain (I know I am obnoxious).

Hi Mary & Dave:

Always on the lookout for a more complicated way to do things in PS, I didn't just destaturate this. Instead, I converted to Grayscale, created a quadtone, used the color picker to select black, white and two shades of gray, then used duotone curves adjustments to jigger the tones. In the end I came up with.... something that's probably visually no different from a simple desat., but involved ever so many fullfilling keystrokes.

Jim, I can sense you are a big fan of blue, but I must concur with Mary here. I'd love to see this in an alternate treatment or perhaps even just a simple b&w. Of course, that's subjective opinion. On its own, the composition is powerful and emotive. Bravo.

The comp is good and the PS work is, of course, outstanding - what I wonder about is the color - blue is a cool color which creates emotional distance imo. How about something less obvious than red? Brownish yellows, muddy oranges and sick (yellowish greens) - controlled and applied variably?

the composition could be improved by placing the foreground subject a bit on the left; lighting may cause a flattening effect to that give a loss of distance fore/back ground. Very original though, may be blue casting is too much obvious, may be red or purple color should contrast well with the subject of the shot
