the cheeks and lips are outrageous.. good luck author

some fade and burn to the water splashes might help for the blend (maybe just blur).. but that is just IMHO.. it's a very inventive chop.. good luck!!!!!!

EDIT: my favorite part is how the face is mooshed into the hands.. it's WONDERFUL!!!!!

thanks driven

Interesting/moody/dramatic but I think the near-perfect symmetry of virtually every element is excessive (i.e., too mirror-like) and ends up detracting from the potential impact of the central figure. The contrast of a largely-symmetric central figure situated within a somewhat chaotic environment would be more compelling IMO.

woooow danlundberg talk inglish so i can understand you hahahahaha but thanks

wooooooooooooow!........Really nice job!

cool!

Thanx

interesting................ mystery

Thank you Mazanda

Nice image, but the shadow underneath is too strong for the environment. It is an overcast day, with no clear light source. The ambient lighting makes for softer shadows, look at the stick on the LH side and the bend at the end of the road...

very lovely image.. I come from there.. (Northern Wisconsin.. all snow and lots of snowmobiling fun )

The narrow color palette is dramatic. I don't see any shadow at all, however, but I agree with MossyB that it would be a weak one. The skull in the precise middle of the path—not to mention near the center of the image—is kind of boring. The Rule of Thirds could help amp up the impact.
