Great angle and texture, I really like the way the skull is looking back at us from the background.

@Julian Kilsby: No arrangement on my part. I had to shoot this through brush from the other side of a fence.

I like how you handled the lighting and focus here; stylish.

@Daryl: Thank you. My options were limited. I was shooting through brush from the other side of a fence.

Not sure about the focus, would have liked the top and bottom sharper. Hope you enjoyed your lunch.

@JoeB: I shot it several different ways but don't think any of the other versions work. If either the skull or the spine is in sharp focus, they draw the eye, and disturb the balance of the image. Both being in focus might work from the balancing standpoint, but I don't think it works from the aesthetic standpoint: the image becomes "documentary" instead of "representative."
