As always, you're a master of moody B&W. BTW: care to share more info about where you found these skulls and what do they mean???

@Alessandro Burato: Alessandro, no problem: the photos are from an exhibit commemorating the Day of the Dead or Día de Muertos. The artist was furnishing a post-modernist interpretation of the "calaverita" or skull which characterizes or --better said-- is iconic of this celebration. Cheers!

EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom

A strong display from the artist, I noticed the different jaw 'expressions' on the skulls. You've captured this image so well, perfect angle and tone.

le mexique est vraiment un pays très surprenant.
Your country is very strange for a guy like me. These days, most of my photos are dedicated to the death, by one way or another, not death as a whole, but mine
