awesome ! and amazing mood as usual

Lovely work, there are two power lines on the right side in the sky, just above the horizon, you might like to remove them

Thank you for the keen eye Madame! I've cloned out the power lines

Much better

Beautiful image...Just a suggestion but the light source is behind the hourglass not to the right or the front...Might want to get rid of the reflections on the glass to help create the mood you are going for in this image...Best of Luck =)

Well done author! This is a creative and powerfull image! Keep it up!

good luck

Good job...love the feel to this..GL

i like it but i just prefer when u can make out the original image in the final image. still great though

The selection seem a bit soft in some areas, and there's also a black blotch in the leg that you should try to remove.

Great idea author...good luck

good luck

Congrats for 4th place.. your work is really improving

This is beautiful, I a fine example how amazing photoshop is if you know how to use it =)

Very interesting use of source, the image seems a tad underexposed (even though that was your intention), maybe brighten it up a little. Good luck!

Edit: Alright author, it's your image Again, very creative work - good luck!

very little resolution in the original pic (due to the pylon in the foreground, and the sun was at full zenith and sweat was pouring over my eyes, but I loved the picture so much I wanted to use it, check sbs to see full exposure picture,

I wanted the image to look as if it was taken at twilight, thank you for the advice

G-R-E-A-T!!!

very cool work author...great idea and fantastic execution...good luck

beautiful .................

good luck
