Inspiration of this image came from this quote:

"Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest. Laugh as much as you can, spend all your money, tell someone what they mean to you. Tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain. Hold someones hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late. Be a flirt, smile until your face hurts, don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love, and most of all live in the moment cause when you look back one day knowing you have no regrets, its going to be what makes you smile."

Thanks to F-L-O-W-E-R-S and mjranum-stock for the stock images.

Pondering, Life

Great and deep image! One suggestion of mine is removing the line crossing the skull and covering the screws, they take off a bit of the realism.

Lamantine says:

Superb image. One suggestion - A thin white outline is still visible on the rose in high res. I would suggest removing it using the Select>Modify>Contract at 1 px. GL !

Would be awesome, if you could make your skelly look a bit more 'realistic' .. worn her bones up a little and especially make her skull look a bit more realistic. Lose the straight cut line and make some real cracks to it, etc. Very good idea - and a good aphorism too.

Really nice scene... excellent work. The line separating the skull is a bit distracting in my opinion, but other than that this has a very nice feel to it. Great masking too! Well done
