Oh, these are all spectacular! I find the third one particularly evocative because of the abundance of verdant life and the colour of roses (or flesh, rather) as contrast to the morbid figure.

[olivermoss]

Thank you! Yeah, I was really excited to find the one with all the ivy :)

[kingstoken]

Very spooky

[james]

So many frolicking skeletons!

[olivermoss]

There are a lot in this town!

[ihavenoarms]

wow cool

[bleodswean]

These are compelling and wonderfully done!

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

Amazing and I love them! I have a skeleton like this that didn't see any use last Halloween due to I pretty much didn't celebrate in 2020. It is so lovely to see these; heals something just a bit.

[olivermoss]

Glad you liked them! This town has been covered in skeletons recently :)

[enemytosleep]

The first one had me CACKLING with the tiny leg lift, but these are all equally stunning in their own right. I'm particularly drawn to the ram's head as I've been playing a new game recently, and the quest I'm currently on deals with Valravn, whom that photo reminds me of quite strongly.

[olivermoss]

Thank you! The first one was my first time using a portrait lens for night shooting. It worked out great.

The Ram's head is apparently a Wendigo. I want to reshoot it again, but it's got such a busy background that it's tricky.

[pauraque]

Cool! I really like how the mural artist made use of that oddly-shaped space created by the stairs.

[olivermoss]

Yeah, that mural is amazing :)

[corvidology]

Fantastic photographs! I particularly love the first one for some reason - even the dead keep up with their exercise regime. :D

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[lightbird]

These are so cool! Thank you for sharing!

[coffinliqueur]

Aah, these are so lovely and striking! I especially love the vibe, lighting, and colors of the first two!!

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[mistressofmuses]

I love all of them!

[olivermoss]

Thank you :)

[bluedreaming]

I love these! They’re so evocative, and I’m especially struck by the juxtaposition of the child with the skull head.

[olivermoss]

Thanks! Yeah, the Skull Child is really cool. Portland has been very into skeletons this past year.

[dr_zook]

What a fine collection! :D

[olivermoss]

Thanks! I spend a lot of time walking this town looking for pics :)

[cornerofmadness]

These are so cool

[olivermoss]

Thanks!

[cornerofmadness]

You're welcome

[falkner]

The first photo is my favorite, it gives me calm relaxed vibes.

[olivermoss]

Thanks! It turned out really cute!

[mossy_bench]

That's a fantastic mural, and I like how your photo captured not just it, but the surroundings, too, like the lovely leaf-inspired gates and ivy.

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[yarnofariadne]

Fantastic photos!

[olivermoss]

Thanks!

[rainbowpineapple]

I'm quite taken by that second one - there's something kind of beautiful and terrifying about the skeleton with the crown of flowers and the mask. It keeps pulling my eyes back to it, it's a great shot

[olivermoss]

Thank you!
