I'd suggest to make a layer out of the dropshadow and adjust it's flow, so it follows the street and wall more natural. Also give it some Gaussion blur so they are not that hard

Interesting idea, great mood.

i think his left leg is too long

Too dark overall. A lot of the empty black on the left could be cropped off to give this a better composition, and increasing the contrast (or the ambient lighting) would better define the "child." Since the title is "Children of the NIght," I thought it was two poorly illuminated figures until I saw the foot on the left...

thank mossyB - I did change the lighting some, and cropped it some. strange how it looks a lot better before saving it as a .jpg


edit - after looking at this I should have put a lot more work into this before posting it in this contest....

I really like this ... I think what you did after Mossy's comment must have helped as I can see it clearly! It has a simple elegance to it and I think you should be happy with the final image. It is unique and clever! High marks for your individual approach!

Thanks arca - I did spend a lot more time on this after those frist comments

I didn't see it before, but totally agree with Arca, it's quite unique, I like it!

cool implementation of source image...gl

Really like this ... very unique take on the source!

good creativity involved here.... good luck author.
