To me, this doesn't say Halloween, but I'm not really sure what is does say.

The first one that is.

It'd look better a little more off center

Your profile says it's OK to edit your images, so here's a quikie I did.

Crop, skull overlay, gaussian blur, levels adjustment, color matched border.

And one with eyes for the extra creepy effect...

It's a bit more "Halloween" IMO. :mrgreen:

i like the edit, but i was going to put this on a stock photo site, and don't have a skull of my own to make something like that with
so do you think it would do ok on the stock photo site?

so do you think it would do ok on the stock photo site?

In the form you posted? No. Not really.

Like others said, it's too centered, the skin is almost TOO detailed (seeing every little poor in the skin isn't always a good thing) and there just isn't enough interest in the photo. Half of an orange face with no eyes to make it personable and no mouth/visible expression to convey mood...it's boring.

That being said...I wouldn't post MY edit on a stock photo site either, it was just for the fun of "Halloween"...nothing I'd sell. lol

ok i fixed it up, a little. thanks for the advice
i just thought it might be an ok stock photo because there are so many different situations it could be used in... but only if the buyer also had some sort of editing skill.unfortunately i doubt they would
