Too much "dead space" at the top. You could crop off 1/3 and have a much better composition...

i agree with MossyB, never the less the image is beautiful, you have my vote

I agree with MossyB about "dead space", but NOTHING takes away the merit of your work, which in my view is fantastic! Fav!

I think if you like it that way don't change it :P

Fabulous piece of work author...great mood,cool effects and amazing final result...Instant fav from me...best of luck

I'm not into the idea of telling you to crop out the black space at the top. If you like it and it's part of the 'mood' then leave it. If you were unaware of it...then crop it and you'll have a tighter composition.

Author did you contact the author on DA about your model image? It is one of the requests the author asks from you to use the image....Awesome work and Best of Luck

Christy:
No. From what I saw, the author asked only to warn you if you want the image in high resolution. Thank you and sorry for my bad English. =]

Stunning image, lovely work!

Author ... this info will hopefully help you out ... the Stock states (caps are not mine, I am quoting his site) "OUTSIDE REPOSTING OF YOUR FINISHED ARTWORK TO YOUR BLOG | PERSONAL WEBSITE | OTHER FORUM | OTHER GALLERY IS ACCEPTABLE, AS LONG AS FULL CREDIT IS GIVEN"

Full Credit would mean, perhaps, mentioning the Stock providers name ... as a courtesy it is nice to put that in as well as a link ... it is Aegean-Prince at deviantArt ... not a big deal, just a courtesy ...

He also states that you "BE A DEVIANT ART MEMBER ! (WITH UPLOADED DEVIATION'S TO YOUR PROFILE)". This is a little trickier as it is hard to prove. One way to avoid such problems with stock providers and acceptable images is to get advance permission and include a screen print of that in your SBS.

The link to his rules is here http://aegean-prince.deviantart.com/journal/13925858/ ... not just what he states on the image home page.

Just another thought, your work is so nice it would be wonderful to see it in High Res ... even 900px wide would be good ... hope you can get something larger up as I think it would improve your final score

Makes me think of David Bowie in the Labrynth ohhh god i love him lol

Great work author
