    This is too tightly composed. This would probably work better with a much wider angle lens to get some more background, and also turn the skull so that it is gives some more depth.

    Good input guys. Thanks. I used a 10-22 that was right in front of the skull. but your right, I could move back a bit to pull in more background and turn the skull to get more depth.

    I appreciate the input and I'll work on it. :D

    Yeah, you could probably have pulled back about a foot on that super-wide, and it would have changed the entire comp. Super-wide compositions are very delicate. Very cool shot otherwise. What kind of skull is that, Brad? :wow

    Thanks Joel. I'll try that next time. I'm still workiing on where the 10-22 works and even when it works for the shot the best way to take advantage of it. :D

    The skull is from a Javelina. Kind of nasty little chompers they have.

    That looks like one mean beast ... scary indeed.

    Do you have this sitting in your yard?

    Hi Mary, I have had the skull for at about 14 years. I cleaned it up and varnished it when my kids were young and they took it to show and tell at school. rolleyes1.gif It's just been sitting on a shelf in the garage since then.

    I walked by it when shooting the rusty pigs and heard it whining about never seeing the sun so I brought it out to play. :D

    Make sure you keep it away from the pigs ... it could be looking for a long overdue lunch rolleyes1.gif

    Bet the kids loved it at show and tell :D
