Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hello Jon , I’m Alan.

Let me start by saying I wish I could noticed you before we filled out our DPL team, I think your future here looks to be exciting.
I think you did a good job telling a story, or in this case song (a very good song at that). A nice play of the real with the surreal and I’m a bit surprised someone on the Posthumous thread didn’t showcase it. A proper critique should include a nit-pick or two, but to tell the truth I like it as is. Fantastic work..

If you have any questions on my insights please feel free to PM me.
Alan.

Very macabre photo! The smoke adds great effect giving the sense that something of a spirit nature is leaving.

Very creative theme flow & colourwise this is a treat - LOVE the title reference. It does look abstractedly haunted.

Hmmmmm... The title is somehow vaguely familiar to me.... I wish I had the tone-mapping skills.

What a beautiful, ethereal image. Excellent job in getting the three different lighting states working together like this. Hopefully front page stuff.
