Great idea! I agree with aheman about the shadow and the light coming from behind. I also suggest making the area around his feet as dark as the rest of the pillar. Judgding by the angle of it, you would not see his feet from that perspective. Good Luck

Humbleness is always appreciated. A little suggestion, try at least to restore the horizon line which have been altered on the left side! It will makes it look better. I wish you luck author!

i like... but not sure about the ghostly shadow... suggest you do a bright sunlight from behind instead

Swag !
