Description
This is one of the first paintings I did when I first got into photoshop. Looking back at it, I realized it really wasn't very good, naturally, so I decided to do a very light retouching of it. I heavily muted the colours, as pretty much the whole piece was at 100% saturation before, and also slightly blurred out the background elements so that they wouldn't be so sharp.

I'm still not very happy with it. The skull seems to completely ignore the background as a light source, while it seems to be what's casting the light on everything else in the painting. It would appear the tree to the right and closest to the skull isn't very far away, yet it completely ignores whatever lightsource is shining on the skulls forehead.

Just all around not very well thought through, but I decided to retouch it since I thought that at least the skull in and of itself was good enough to warrant it.
