nice feel

Way too dark. The bridge is barely visible in the upper LH corner.

indeed very dark but I think that gives a special mood too the image so I like it !!

I really like this ... I do agree that it is a tiny bit too dark but only a little. IMO it would take away if you lightened it up too much. I have a pretty well calibrated monitor and I can just make out the bridge on the right and the left is pretty much not there. I think that with the amount of light coming from the center would have a bit more highlights on the railing etc. on the left.

As for the overall image ... it is really stunning and very dynamic!

thanks everyone!

Very very nice effective work author...best of luck

thnks erathion ^^

I like the dark feel. I think it's fine as it is.

What do you mean you didn't use any downloaded pictures? You had to download the source image, right? j/k GL!

Nice dark and spooky mood

jaws u'r right..ahahaha,, anyway...

i think his left leg is too long

Too dark overall. A lot of the empty black on the left could be cropped off to give this a better composition, and increasing the contrast (or the ambient lighting) would better define the "child." Since the title is "Children of the NIght," I thought it was two poorly illuminated figures until I saw the foot on the left...

thank mossyB - I did change the lighting some, and cropped it some. strange how it looks a lot better before saving it as a .jpg


edit - after looking at this I should have put a lot more work into this before posting it in this contest....

I really like this ... I think what you did after Mossy's comment must have helped as I can see it clearly! It has a simple elegance to it and I think you should be happy with the final image. It is unique and clever! High marks for your individual approach!

Thanks arca - I did spend a lot more time on this after those frist comments

I didn't see it before, but totally agree with Arca, it's quite unique, I like it!

Hats off for your imagination . Good luck!
