wow, looks really good, how did you find that man in that pose to fit him in.

There's a masking problem on the sky, I think a layer got out of place ( left side of the image right above where the wing finishes). It's pretty obvious actually even in low res.
Besides that, you have a nice entry with a good mood and a nice compositional triangle: sun in the clouds, man's butt (cause of warm color contrast + taboo ) and the white feather. You could even crop from the left, and it would still look fit.

Thanks for the heads up Greymval. Didn't catch that one ! My eyes are failing me as I head towards the top of the hill. Not long before I'm over it LOL Will rectify the problem ASAP.

EDIT: fixed

@emiK I couldn't find an actual fit, that's why puppet warp in CS5 is invaluable

His rump most be FREEZING!!! very neato!!!

i still see the left top gray square

cool one, one of the better in this contest

congratulation...

Congrats! Well done!

fabulous work author!

interesting work and very cool coloring...gl

I love this! Great concept with the B/W vs. color, and the butterflies 'escaping', like the girl will be spreading her own wings.
