Not sure if either of these will work. Thoughts?

    I don't know about anyone else but #2 definitely creeps me out. Color may be even worse. Not sure.

    Oh yeah. nod.gif

    The color does the trick in this one. Definitely gives one a sense of "ewwwww".

    I vote for the color version of the worms too---anyway to get a shot with someone's hand immersed in the wormy goo? Just a thought.

    FWIW, the theme is creepy OR crawly. I think #2 color version fits the second theme perfectly. No need to go overboard ... mwink.gif

    Sorry, Mark. My mind sees Creepy or Crawly as Creepy AND Crawly. ne_nau.gif Even after I have a good idea, it is still working on both options. :D :bash :oogle

    This is me telling my brain to stop already!

    I don't know if this is the reaction you are wanting, but #1 is so beautiful! LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!

    You know, I also have to go with #1. I think if you could reshoot and try to avoid some of the glare (although, it seems like it works in a way) and work on the levels/curves a little bit, this one could be strong.

    All those individual bugs in their small individual boxes... and it just goes on and on and on extending out of the frame on all sides... it just does it for me much more than #2 (bw and color).

    Thanks for all the comments everyone. I sorta knew that eventually someone would show up with a dissenting opinion about #1. There's a possibility I could do something of a reshoot of either depending if the same vendors are out and similarly cooperative.

    The hard question is whether to keep going with these or move on. I, of course, have halloween in Shanghai to look forward to this weekend. Which could prove interesting. Doubtful I'll get anything particularly creepy or crawly, but I'd lay odds on something humorous. :D

    Here are two reworks of #1 in B&W and colour with some more aggressive PP. Worth sticking with it?

    Yeah, this first rework in BW is definitely on the right track!
