Wow wow wow! Top notch entry! Sooo very realistic. Beautiful!

Amazing work author...very well done and instant fav from me...

Very strong image! Is there a high-res?
Since you've cut off a lot of the face it's hard to see in what angle the face is. The iris is looking towards us, but the eyebrow and lashes are pointing to the left. The edge of the iris is to hard, a close up of an eye shows that the iris is blurring into the white normally. Strong image anyway with great colours.

excellent!!!

I agree with layerstack !!

This entry is a good character builder for me, because I'm trying very, very hard right now not to be jealous of your talent. This is beautiful.

Yes... this is perfection..., My only nitpik is the shading/lighting on the upper eye lid., you need have a look at it again.., Great job.... high marks

What can I say? Everybody said everything what could be said... It's perfect, amazing... colors are very convincent, and the eye looks like a real one. GL!

Is that Megan Fox? And no, I'm not obsessed!!
You could add a few words in the SBS on how you do it ( for newbies like me), smudge, or soft eraser with blur on shadows - stuff like that.

Really hard to explain when you do something intuitively. I have had some practice in traditional art and in digital painting I'm just trying to imitate traditional painting.
Greymval, I'll try to add a few words in the SBS

P.S. Done.... WOW
It was terribly difficult

Top Shelf work indeed

Magnificent talent

Somehow, this eye looks sad, but still quite beautiful work. Great talent, author!

Thanks author, that's helpful indeed.

what can i say that hasn't been said,...except, ..respect!. well done!

Congrats for your first place, Eramono!

Congrats absolutely beautiful

Congratulations for the first place!

THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!

Congrats for the 1st place

Love the subtle colouring, glad you won it.

Did you colour with a Wacom?

congrats!! well deserved!

Congrats !!

Concrete, I have no Wacom. Genius.

the reflection oh the signboards are mismatching...and the distortion/sand looks unrealitic.... maybe a little work on these can make it betterr...

Sand?

ohh... i mean rust u created on the signboards....

Gray rust looks strange...maybe add more rust to shiny backs of signs...

Is it Hotel California? Very cool!

Is it in my head or that exclamation point on the upper sign is -half- written on the sky?

very interesting idea. I do think I would have tried to put something other than a shiny surface on the back of the signs, that way you could have added the rust and weathering to that as well. Otherwise, I think you have a contender here.

It's a great idea and a really unique use of source. I guess just live and learn when it comes to texture, author. GL all the same

And also congrats for a very good first place!

Congrats
