This looks too simple to mel, try adding different elements, simply making a photo look nicer isn't considered a manipulation.

What's with the silly lines?

CMYK46 -- that's not constructive. If you don't like the lines say that but don't be like this. I like the lines and think that they add a little je nas sais quois to the work.

Thank You Designedwright

@xwd, Thanks

I think you were going for more effect with the lines, correct? It does resemble a previous entry. However, I give you props for using the original source well and I'll always toast to this wonderful program PHOTOSHOP.

@jawshoewhah, Thanks, and the lines really were meant to be a more sudle effect.

the gradient effect gives a lovely colour focus to your image.

The cracks also need highlights at the rightside of the dark shadow lines.

You've got the same cracks running through the spine and ribs...
Edit: You could have fixed the crack thing since my comment. Guess you don't care to...you still have time.

You've got cracks running over the arm's edges.Very simple fix. You must have just lost interests in this entry. Probably happens to everybody.

@jawshoewhah, this is really an older version, the final progect photoshop file got corrupted

lots of work author.. nice image... i agree with a few of the adjustments that would help to improve.

The woman looks very cut and pasted on.

lovely concept author. however to look at this image i would think that you are a person who is developing their artistic skills with digital programs. IF this is the case you may like to explore tutorials on how to use BURN and DODGE tools , BLENDING IMAGES- taking 2 or more images to create one image and CURVES. Keep at it you have great ideas... GL.

Thanks for the advice and criticism :] much appreciated

the edges are kind of rough on the face and clothing...
