Thinking about Halloween

I'm kind of thinking about using this tree in some sort of a Halloween image.  I'm not sure what yet.  This image is just a sketch.  It was setup in 3d Studio Max 2011, rendered with Vray and composited with After Effects.  I made the tree with Onyx Tree.

One more image version of Above the Water. Vray Fast SSS2

I like the last one more.  The last one is more calming.  One problem with the last one is the shadow on the sea. 

Latest Version of Above the Water.

The above image is the latest version.  I'm not sure that I'm real happy with it yet.  Lower image shows the things I might change.

Inspiration continued...

So, from the images below, I might be able to see that the concrete spheres might be concrete ballons with large rusty chains that carry trees!  I will need to rework the balloon locations a little and maybe add some clouds.  Also tilt the balloons a little so they show some motion and direction.

Looking for that Spark of Inspiration.

I'm looking for a spark of inspiration.  The water in the bottom image looks really bad, but thats ok.  These are just doodles to help spark an idea.
