nice concept, i like the background choice, lots of clouding But the girl looks cut out and stuck on, she isn''t blending with the rest of the image. If you look at the rest of the 'black' colouring in the image she is too dark and sharp. Anyway, like I said, its a good idea Goodluck author.

all the best to u ........ nice idea ..........

Is it a suicide place?

It could "literally" be Erikuri!

Source 1 does not lead to an image.

it was the users profile page. I 've replaced it with the page of his image. Thanks

Very nice finish but I cant make out the tattoo :S

I can see where Barnacle is coming from. If more of the original tattoo wings were shown, it would improve the realism but I noticed that the wings you used might be pre-manipulated.

Good idea, but personally, I would zoom to the tattoo itself and make little wings come out ... GL

Thanks for your suggestions. I have fixed the tattoo and the original wings are now showing.

great effect, an excellent demonstration of photoshop skills

Good job!

I'd remove the greenish cast, but the rest is good...

I think this is great! It really tells a story. Great work! Good luck.

nice!.......Is someone mad at Grampa?

If you add more divets and cracks to the chards...it will help the realism. Nice job!

Wonderful!

excellent outcome author.

Congrats

Everything's great except the guy in the foreground...he's pixelated, and his arm is behind the jacket of the third flag bearer.
EDIT: Arm fixed, good luck!

Wowee! I think you should work on the top of the flag a little bit, but the rest looks really good, especially those planes!

Edit: Nice job on the flag, sorry i've got a little OCD thing going on. Good luck!

you should darken the guy a little bit so he'd blend in better but a really cool job

Good display of contrast in ideals. I like its message.

cool image im lovin it the image is deffinately cool and the flag is cool! OH THE JETS! they look great and i almost didnt see them! silly me!

now this is exactly what this one should be about!!! It says it all! AWESOME! Remember our troops and our veterans!

Good work!

very well done!!

Long Live America... (Da bar...)

Great composition and blending! Good luck

I love it......

Congrats Loyd!

Congratulations for 2nd

Congrats!

congrats

Congrats!!

Wow, now this is in a different league. Fantastic work. This really kicks A's

Great work! I thought of impaling her somehow, but never came up with a good concept...my only suggestion is to blend the weird wingy things onto the arms better, like the right arm of the woman at top.

Very good job

Powerfully image... very well crafted quality work!!

AH HA.. the battle of the Seraphim's.. quote from the movie Prophecy...

Thomas: "Did you ever notice how in the bible whenever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence praising your God, but one wing always dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?"

I actually think I captured this image in that quote... hehehe.. good job author..and good job ME.. (Just kidding.. all ego bisquits go to you dear author..hehehe)oh yeah.. and the writers for the move the Prophecy

Stunning work author.... def a place contender, if not first

Powerful and fantastic job Author..........Good Luck.

Great job done author

great!!

Oh yeah another stunning piece, fantastic work here

Stands apart from the rest. Very original.

Bit bloody but nice idea with ditto execution. Care for a nitpick to add? Since the pale entered the body from the back, I can imagine that a part of the dress in front would have come out because of the force of the impaling (thanks to CMYK for that word, I didnt know it yet ). So in case you'd like to, you could add some tiny ripped parts of the dress in front of the pale. The other figure looks nice, perhaps if you could hide the repetition in the fabric/wings (right top corner), would be nice. Good luck!

PS just noticed, I think that the flying woman needs a real left hand. Is there a way to flip the hand?

The steak looks a little big for the wound, but otherwise this is very nice.

great imagination author

Fantastic feather work........

WOW!! great job author!!

Fantabulous, love it

Great work author

OMG.....i lost my words......AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks 4 all your comments will do some nip/tucks in the am

Really wonderful, very good work, like Richie said, just in a different league than most entries.

good work

welldone, nice composition

Top part looks great, like the sky and the girl a lot. Don't like the pierced girl, it seems a bit to set up...how come there's a sharp pole? The story behind the picture lacks..but still great job on the top part.

Good work author!!!!
