Black on black on black...try lightening the background.

Thank you Bob, I agree wholeheartedly. Made a change.

nice work!

Interesting back story and a nice representation!

nice choice of image and well blending -- looking at the high res i wonder if the tree and skulls could use a touch of blur to move them back in the image they seem to be intruding on the raven and girl

Edit -- look better glad to be of some help

'preciate ya Alan, made adjustments, thanks

I see an eminent danger here... it seems the raven will peck the girl any time!

Good suggestion Nator I like it. Eurikuri if I were to have portrayed that it might be off theme., thanks all, for the commentary and the encouraging remarks

Cool info and creepy image author, good work. Great depth of field shown between the sphere and tree and the raven and girl. Nice final touch with that red eye on the raven!

Very disturbing ... I can see the necromancy in the image!

very cool work author...ravens eye is fantastic...

like the level of detail -- webs, the raven all great -- lighting is also nice

awesome job, very well done

I agree with alan..the level of detail is great..Good job author!

can't fault it too much, except with the light being in the distance and as harsh as it is... the light wouldn't be hitting the foreground as much as it is, so would be in more shade... unless of course there are two suns in which case it's perfectly justified :P!

Nice piece though!

Astounding detail.. the lighting is superb.

Beautiful entry very well crafted!

I love the color and the mood, we can feel the mushrooms texture. good luck author !

Great entry! GL

Good work and good luck Author.

I think the background image is a bit stretched... To avoid this, when you resize an image, do it pressing shift key.

XD

I think the size of the crow is not realistic at all . U should have change the time of the clock its never that dark at 4 o' clock otherwise is looks ok gl

Interesting image.Try to get rid of the suitcase, it doesn't fit in the image. The kid's just a tiny bit too cute...maybe you could have the raven plucking his eye out...that'd be cool.
(Seriously author, pretty good image except for the suitcase).

Pretty nice work, I kinda agree about the suitecase although you can also make another funny story about that (for in the image, in fact it fits well for your story). Just curious how you used the last 2 sources. Good luck!

I have done the changes, and some extra ones. I hope it looks better now.
Thanks for advises!

I like the revision, but why the clown makeup on the boy? IMO it changes the whole mood, but I like the raven tipping his hat.

Wow, the little chick has Alice Cooper's make up

I wrote a story about a white raven. There aren't many of them, but there are a few in the world. But my story was scifi.

Nice image.
