Makes perfect sense to collect eyes, when they took one of yours!

If ever there was a tree stalking the earth in search of its/a head....!

I made a face for it.
I hope.

Looks cool.
What if that little skull on the left was up in its hand on the right?

 

[moke]

Cool a brewin!!! Definitely some old witches brewing something up there. Is that a turtle skull?

Good idea. I’ll try it tomorrow

 

[Crawforde]

Yep. A small turtle I found on the road. The shells don’t really stand up to truck tires. I can’t believe people hit them, but I see a lot during migration and egg laying times.

The company my husband works for has a hotel on Daytona Beach for the employees and they have yellow lights so as not to confuse the turtles during egg laying time.

Why is an Ent doing a hand stand?

Maybe a lower camera angle?

This is true horror. But let’s face it, props to the lady for a great Halloween idea for anyone preggers.

Great use of dead trees!
I feel like the house could be tilted slightly forward towards the viewer.
Not to be a critic.

Let's play......

Photography tips from an amateur:

In this situation, it often works best to get the camera angle from the "ground level" as if you were standing in the scene yourself looking at the subject. So, camera at the level of the pot, looking up at the vicious dragon, or menacing tree creature.

Dramatic lighting helps. Stark shadows, background lit separately to match the ominous sky, maybe some colored lights if you have them. Use household lamps with directed blinds (maybe tinfoil and cardboard) or desk lamps to to play with multiple lighting directions.

More difficult to do with phone cameras and their autofocus, but leaving all but the subject of the action in a softer focus or even blurred a little can add a sense of drama.

Loving it all so far, though.

This reminds me of the graveyard leading to the church in resident evil 4.
