Artist's Comments

If you think I've defiled the corpse in post-processing, then it's good I haven't had posted the version with a cigarette...

Now worries though - I've shown all the respect to the descendants of this crispy gentlemen while taking the photos.

You can find some more info on Papuan mummies under my previous submission here: [link]

Smoke and glow (embers) added digitally.




Baliem valley, 15 km from Wamena, Irian Jaya (Indonesian Papua).

it's a kind of crochet - it looks exactly like a halo. I'm sure it used to be covered in feathers, probably white or red ones: [link]

Great job on the embers, the skull looks very metallic in the image like Iron.
