Nice atmosphere.

awesome use of color

i like it very much! lovely colours and feeling. love its subtlety . i think you could have worked slightly more on the character, especially the eyes...too much black around them. try to repair them a little, it's a pitty...

very nice usage of source and red color.

It does look very nice in High Res.. this would be a printers NIGHTMARE lol.. thank god for visual monitors LOL.. I could see my printer look at the file and say ARE YOU NUTS!!!!.. hehehe.. You'd have to show this in a gallery on a Wide Screen TV..hehehe.. GOOD JOB

Thanks all for your comments, much appreciated. @ImmerVerloren, I know the eyes seem incomplete, but it was intentional to leave them similar to the part of the source image I used.

Excellent! Lotsa red...but lotsa good!

i like this one

You should never upload running contest images on other sites, as your entry will not be anonymous when people get to know you. There is a High Res link when you upload your entry, use that next time. Nice image BTW.

Thanks solkee, I understand what you are saying. However when uploading the high res image the compression for the smaller image was absolutely terrible, so I opted to upload at 600 pixels and provide a high res elsewhere. This not something I would ordinarily do. Thanks!

very interesting entry, congratulations

you did very well
