OK, you've succeed in scaring me but not because I'm frightened of the things a pirate would do to me -- well, at least not a normal pirate. :-/ Love the skull and crossbones on the tooth. Little more depth of field to get the eyes in focus as well as the teeth.
ummmm wow. A for effort, A for creativity, C on placement (would have liked to see his hat/scarf - and he is WAY too close - A possible winner though, now go and buy a bigger patch with your treasure. :) cthenk
Nasty. Maybe a touch too close, in this case. The pirate face appears almost fisheye. (you didn't use a fisheye lens, did you?) Plastic teeth reflect too much. 7 Swash
yuck! meeting challenge = 3 (a comical expression here hurts a bit - not very fearful) photo quality = 4 colors seem a bit off on the facial features. total = 7
I don't think the wide angle and the silly smile is conveying what you want it to. The flash doesn't seem to meter itself correctly so close to the subject, there's a color shiftt in the face, and some burned out areas. Shey.
