I really like this image, author! I have one suggestion for you though...slowly lighten the main shadow as it gets further from the bench. Look at the bench shadow. See how soft and light it is? Try and replicate that look for the main shadow. Right now, it looks a bit too uniform and dark. Just a thought...

Great idea I like it a lot.
My suggestion is that you clean the man and bench, it's not that pretty in high res and I agree with pixelkid regarding the shadow it should be a little more soft and light.
But overall it's really cool.

Interesting image...flip the crow to match the light source.

I like what you are doing here but you might want to match the color of the cross with the background (select layer with cross > image > adjustments . match color (in CS4)), it somehow stands out a bit to me ATM.

Thank you both, i flipped the crow and followed Rob's advice. Thanks

Beautiful idea! I love the omnimosity here. Just a suggestion to make it really dramatic would be maybe to add some kind of age markings to the cross, either moss or grunge etc. Up to you, of course. It looks great as it is.

Lovely image -- great work on the lighting

very nicely done.. good luck

Very nice idea and mood. GL!

Looks better now author

Thank you all for your comments, i've made some changes to the entry, contrast increased and some age stains added to the cross.

Nice image, we can see the side of the cross on the left except for the extreme left of the horizontal piece. Good luck

Barnacle it's due to the perspective the original source was shot

Again, nice image and good luck
