Fantastic! I love it's simplicity - a quirky improvement on the original source.

It's so dark, it's very hard to tell what parts, or how much of the contest source you've used.

You may want to consider some judicious cropping, to make your use of the contest source more of the focal point in this image. Right now there is too much background, and too little contest source...

Also think about straightening out your horizon line. It's presently tilting down to the RH side...

The head looks too far forward on the neck. Decent idea but lack of a high res version hurts you.

I like the sepia feel of this...with all of the texture. Nice job, author!

They say, “When a person doesn’t understand, an artist is truly within his own!,” I’m trying to figure out, and looked at this for like 20-30 minutes, the scissors/metal-cutter, (looks like a pelican), I love this entry! But the cutting instrument is perplexing?

It's a candle snuffer and wick cutter from the Victorian times, You place the "Blade" Next to the burning candle and SNIP and the box catches the burnt ember. I suppose you could use the sharp tip to help release a stubborn wick that might have burnt too fast

I just liked the fact that it came with a human hand with a wonderful sleave

very very nice work author...gl

good effect
