Wow. She's ugly. ;)

Wonderful with the black cat... and the PP is great for an illustration in a book. I hope this is doing well for you.

That is really an impressive mose. Really. Beautiful cat; why do the witches get all the pretty ones?

Wow, that witch's schnozz is something else! Interesting pic, good detail, love the cat, just wish there were more to tie it into the story, like a big menacing oven nearby or a gingerbread house.

Very scary ... not sure how you've done this. This is the third time I've come back to look at this and have been wondering what it is about the image: now I see the strange "painted" leaves and background which give it a picture-book quality. Intriguing.

A little heavy on the tone mapping, but I suppose the look is appropriate for the theme.

I love the set up... you obviously put some good work into the witch's costume and makeup. Unfortunately for me the post processing is overdone and it has become too cartoonish looking.

The post processing really makes this stand out! Nicely done.

Fun shot, I think it would have been better with a closer view.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/06/2008 07:00:55 PM
man, it seems like the last 5 pictures I've voted have had strong filter effects to make things look like paintings. Is this really a photo and not a photo of a painting? I like it though. 7

Very Halloween-y. I like the addition of the black cat. Commenting only.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This looks like a drawing or a painting, apart from the cat. I can't work out what editing you've done. Looks pretty cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/06/2008 02:21:15 PM
this looks like it could be an illustration right out of the book! interesting technique, how did you do it?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/06/2008 12:31:32 PM
Lovely storytelling and effects!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice HDR? work. Really has fantasy storybook kind of feel to it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Damn, what a witch. LOL I'd prefer she be less centered, although the tree trunk helps to balance it out. I like the editing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I'd like this a lot more with a tighter crop, losing the clutter of leaves to the right side.
 10/06/2008 03:24:33 AM
It looks like a painting! well done!
