Ok I admit to struggling with this months but dose that really have the theme nailed? I like the shot and will probably edit it a little more but I'm not sure if its worth adding. What do you guys think? I was thinking of maybe taking a shot of an action man and adding it...... unless you know where I can get a burnt corpse

I think this could work well, it really does need to be a bit more sharper/grittier and a shade more contrast (though I am unsure on which one should have more weight!) - Horror/Macabre images on various places online I have seen in the past have been quite sharp and gritty on the whole.

Have a play around, visit a grave yard at different times of the day for example and you'll also get different results each time even from the same subject

Well actually I edited it to be flat and grainy as I was looking for the other worldly look.

Ah it didn't say if it had been edited like that already so I had no hope of being aware

Yea my bad ......

Now with even more grain!

Reminds me of Silent Hill now

You know what - I never played that game. An oversight to be sure. But thanks I was trying to go for that sort of feel. It was a bugger to shoot the image as I had to shoot with a chain link fence in my way. Anyway I think I'll use this for the comp, I might edit it a little but it'd be minor touches.
Cheers again.
