Good job on the carving. Good points there. The photo itself feels, to me, to be okay. The composition is a pretty basic, the lighting is good along with good exposure.
nice carving! lol, i'm envious... and i thought my pumpkin was good? lol, anyway, no real suggestions, i like how the face goes into the darkness! good job!
Had to really look on this one, but when I found the face I was amazed at the effect you got. The lighting on this one really creates an almost negative appearance. Very nice job.
