These are actually pictures of the pumpkin I carved this year. I went to a website and printed out a template. Carving took a very long time but I think it turned out really good.

    I like the first one idea. Maybe the head is bit too colorful / not ghosty enough for a creepier mood.

    15524779-Ti.gif I presume the head was done as a layer in pp, so I'd try dropping the opacity to make it more ghostly. Looking at how bright it is I'd guess you could go as low as 30%.

    First of all, awesome pumpkin carving!!!clap.gif

    I like the theme in the first one as well. I'm not sure why and don't have the experience to give you a more technical reason for it, but it seems like too much empty, black space in the photo. Just my opinion though.

    How about a ghostly hint of a body to that head? Just a thought.
