Clever and well done ! Good luck author

HAHAHAHAHA....fantastic idea author...FAV from me...

good one

GL!

What a sweetheart ... and the title just makes it that much more well, for lack of a better word, precious!

it's really cute... love the expression of the little dude..

Very cool piece. My only suggestion would be to eliminate the shadow on nthe archway from the cross. The light source is from above(note the shadows on the chest). Nice use of the source too.

Interesting, but would be more so with an SBS which might help explain the lighting on his chest. I personally don't get the point of the stone fence and would just delete it. I think the title overdescribes the image IMO. (I could see an angel as a soldier of God, but as a soldier of abstract 'faith' seems too much to me.)

I went to very abstract lightning as we can see here, that's why the shadow of the cross (more dramatic imo that way) and also the "minor angel of light" on the chest. And what comes to the title, I personally believe many people have (and fight for) a faith that has no God behind it. I didn't make it overly political or anything, just a simple young man fighting for (his own) faith.

Thanks for the comments, Pingenvy and Dan, highly appreciated.

i like this .....

I LOVE DRAGONFLYS! My favorite.

The rope looks like it is around his chin and not the neck. His hair looks a little funny too, maybe try using the clone tool to fill in the missing spot. Oh and a high res would be great...I will hold my vote for now...Best of Luck

something tells me that the lighting fixture would just fall out. He also looks like he could stand up still. How did he get up there anyway? Need to make it a little more convincing.

It absolutly doesn`t make real ! and to be honest i think it`s not a good idea to put this kind of pics even if the message can be usefull.....

Good advice....
why do you put people who were sleeping?
it will be more obvious if the person is in an upright position

While I do see what you are trying to do here, you have to remember that there might be someone who will see this picture who could have lost a family member in that way. Just an observation.

I have to agree with the above comments ... in addition perhaps it is a little bit of the "most obvious use of the source". A bit of a cop out, perhaps? ... IMO
