I like this piece a lot, but I think it would be stronger without the text. That's just my opinion though. Good luck author!

Agreed about the text and the coolness of your clown.

Thank you so much for the comments ! For your information , this is my first ever contest entry ... Glad that you guys liked it : )

The skin texture by the mouth and eyebrow look too obviously liquified. You might try cloning the skin from other areas back in there to minimize this.

No, its ok.

Wanted it to look that way. Obviously deformed. Evil.

Thanks anyway

what he means is, the stretched pixels look like they have been stretched in Photoshop a little too far, it actually distracts from the images creepiness

that and general burn/dodge on the hair could be used

This is creepy good!

love how you made the eyes, Congratulations on third

Lighting is wrong on the nose. Light on face is from upper left. Provide links to blood spatters.

Better find that link or the mods will pull your entry. Please read http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/

This could have only been done by you, author. Nice connection with the poem.

Has a certain goofy charm. The clown nose and elastic straps need to cast some shadows onto his face in order to look real, however. (See, for example, where his finger and hood touch his cheek.)

Charming. Maybe, besides the shading that Dan said, the elastic can press the skin on cheek bones a little.

Shadows added.

A sad clown =( haha good one

cool...
