I'm having a few difficult days, so I've been slacking with this side challenge - not to mention the official challenges.
My challenge entry 'So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell' is a photo of a cat skull. I took it and put it under a closeup of Cosima. Though Cosima is on a different angle than the skull, I still like the effect. Almost like she is either moving into or out of the skull.
After three comments (and thank you all!!) I'm going to add a little here.
It never occurred to me that this shot might be creepy (which says something about me). I do appreciate that others might feel that way, though. I've always had this thing where I'm afraid of things others are not - such as moths and butterflies, for example - and not at all afraid of things that others have problems with, such as skulls, scorpions and snakes (oh my).
So I just wanted to mention that here because I was first surprised and then remembered that this might indeed be creepy to some :oD.
And that said - I've not been able to look at Jon's moth shot. I saw it in the thumb and scrolled right past it. Now THAT'S creepy! LOL!
Did I read right, afraid of butterflies & not snakes? Yeah, I can't lie....that is a tad strange :) This does look creepy to me, like it's about to come to life & kill us all! :0
Totally weird and creepy, but very good work. I love fooling around with layers. I find that they end result is sometimes a lot more interesting that what I started out with.
So just to confirm I have this correct...Moth = creepy. Cosima transposed on the skull of a dead cat = normal....Ahh my mistake
Actually I have to say this is a pretty funky effect, especially as you have lined it up so cosima's retina runs along a fracture line of the skull which gives it a very cool effect (almost as if the retina is printed on some kind of parchment)
I think I'm reading this right... you overlayed Cosima onto the original layer of the cat skull? I love textured images like this. It's quite subtle, but very different. It ups the spooky scale quite a bit! Great idea.
