Description
I never win contests, but no one can say "If you don't enter you can't win" ... lol
So, I entered. :D
Those that did win totally deserved it. They were my favs, too.
I'm not spooky enough, I don't think. I just don't 'see' that way ... lol. I do love spooky imagery, though.
If you zoom, you can see a lot more detail, but I always hate the 'saved for web' distortion ... lol.
The accompanying description from the contest:
~
I used DS3 & PS for post.
I like images that can express more than one possible interpretation. My inspiration this year was thinking about the wedding night going really bad.
The main composition took about two days, another for little details, and two more for draping the dynamic fabrics. Render too forever due to a failing hard drive, so I took a week off to fix the computer, then the render took roughly 4 hours at a 3000 scale.
I mentioned a dual interpretation possibility ... Did the hanged figure do something heinous, deserving his fate, maybe something leaving her vulnerable and mournful? Or did a stranger turn her intended wedding night of bliss into a horrid memory by ripping her love from her after consummating their vows?
You decide ...

Fantastic light and mood. For me it's spooky enough. Excellent work!
Very nicely done. I also spend a while thinking about future works before commiting. I also use google images to spur on my thinking cap! George/Teffo
Outstanding image and scene!
