Looks good, but the light beam would continue past her...

cool gl

I should have realized that CMY46, thanks

I had to double take it at first to see where the Head went.. what an amazing effect.. it's unsettling and exciting at the same time.. good luck

Great lighting effects

Lookin' slick now...good luck!

stunning image, those wings are perfect as well goodluck.

Dramatic. I personally think a bigger, rugged rock would be a better contrast to the smooth curves of 'The Sender.' I also think she looks like she's wearing sneakers/trainers.

Stunning. I was moved. Good luck!

Great Mood!! Good Luck

beautiful!!!

nice mood

Looks nice........ Good Luck Author.

Well put together.. GL.

good it looks llike that the angle is in deep moan

background, light beam are good, but wings not fixed properly

Thank you for at least showing your own work in the SBS.

Very nice Good Luck

Would like to know what a sender is, but whatever that may be, this is a very nice piece!

In the Bible, the word for Angel is "Euangelion", from which we get our word evangelist. It literally translates, "Messenger" or in a more poetic sense, "Sender". So Angels are messengers from God sent with the Good News or Evangel. Thus endeth todays lesson. I like this peice.

what nice wings you have

Thank you all for your comments, i really appreciate them.

While I really respect the art of this piece, it is a quite disturbing.. I'm sure you are going to hear alot about that.. if you have any problems with it, I will help you as best as I can

My vote for you was based purely on technical prowess: you did really nice work on this. As for content, I feel you're being provocotive. Inclusion of the flag steps on a lot of toes, mine among them. Just one person's opinion...

oh no, poor baby Looks real, great skills author. Yes, it is quite disturbing, but it's reality.

Thanks for your comments ppl, if i do offend anyone with my image i do strongly oppologies, but it is a fact and FairyGardens hit it right on the head.

as a mother of 3 and currently prego with #4 this image is very discouraging and has a veryyy wrong idea.. only a sick person would come up with this!!!

It was not necessary to leave the flag in the trash to make your point. Unfortunately babies are abandoned in every country. Removing the flag would have sent an entirely different message. Think about it...

I strongly oppologies PPL, i didn't realize about the flag and didn't mean anything with it, it was just in the image that i used, i placed an image of a bin to cover it, again i oppologise and i'm very sorry.

good work looks real.. i hate it ! baby in a bag just hurts me reality or not...funny how the flag bothered people more hmmm.....again your work is good, just disturbs me , if thats what you are trying to do disturb, well you have

good idea, but some technical issues are there. The white plastic spoon inside the bag is not transparent. But in the design both leg and spoon got merged. correct it.

While the techical skill is obvious, this peice is in extemely poor taste and IMHO ought to be removed. The flag notwithstanding this is horrible.

You have my full support, author. I have seen some seriously disturbing posters and TV ads here in UK because they make people STOP and THINK about existing problem. Closing our eyes, denying it all and removing that kind ot images is not going to solve it ever.

http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2003/01/12/three-unwanted-babies-killed-every-month-forensic-team.html

''The unwanted babies, split evenly among gender between female and male, were apparently born out of wedlock and were killed by their biological mothers.''

Author, I am sure that here in UK you could donate your image to the childrens charity - closing our eyes won't help, but addressing the problem might help to save some babies in a future.

It's kinda creepy, but GL!

As much as I HATE THIS IMAGE.. I'm totally with FairyGardens on this... I LOVE THE WORK... pieces like this do serve a purpose.. and this conversation is one of them

wtfayla I think it bothered people cause of the message it was saying that's all. You did good job, not that I ilke seeing babies in trashcans just read the rules next time on entries :P good luck author

Ther are few examples of 'poor taste' TV ads

People don't listen, but what they see they will never forget. Sometimes you have to make them 'see' to make the point.

nice, i agree with GolemAura tho

powerfully thought-provoking work for sure…

You have a lot of response to this one, I think you have ruined your pic by placing the bin in front. Not all pieces have fairy wings.

.....u r trying to give a message....awesome conccept + work....also very diferent work....

Powerful message author!High marks for that!

disturbing and dark, but the point is still valid. (and i'm beginning to think this conversation is no longer about this piece anymore)

OK, I get it now. It was Fairy Gardens that convinced me. If you're disturbed by this image, realize that it IS happening everyday in abortion clinics all over the world. Baby body parts are going into the trash, maybe not in transparent bags, but trash bags, nonetheless. We need to be reminded.

Good work, very well done, and I kinda thought it was funny, not sure if I should feel bad about that...

My vote for you was based purely onyour technical skills and that is ALL!

it creeped me out, but i guess thats because of ur "realistic" work, it is hard to accept but this is really happening all around the world i heard of babies found dead in public bathrooms

I think the garbage can was an excellent move... it solved the problem of desecration of the flag, and further drives your point home

OK. Personally I avoid controversy, but...Guernica was a very controversial painting and was rightfully not removed from society. Art is a reflection of human existance during a period of time. Sure we don't want an image like this to be presented in humor or something like that, but this situation exists, and I view this piece as a reminder of the vigilance all people need to maintain to protect our little people. Assuming your intent was solemn, author, I think this is a great piece. I understand why some dissagree and I respect their reasoning also.

whoooo!! awesome concept...congrats

I think this is a very powerful entry! GOOD WORK!!!!!!

"Art is a reflection of human existance during a period of time." Well put Pingenvy. To not want to see and ignore pain and suffering is the peak of lovelessness.

I like this version much better than the original. Still disturbing, but does a better job of making your point.

Sad but true... Great work author.

Amazing work Author! Good Luck

nice work! good luck

Beautiful work......Good Luck Author.

Very beautiful effect.. might want to remove the black area off the lip.. either petal coat it or remove it completely,,, in high res it's just a tad disturbing.. if you know what I mean.. other than that.. high High HIGH marks.. good luck

Nice work, Very impressive, good luck

Thanks GolemAura for your suggestion, i hope it looks better now, thanks.

Nice image would have liked to see a high res version tho......

Sorry about not saving it in full resolution it is now, thanks.

beautiful work author, goodluck

Different & I like it. She looks a bit sinister, despite the beauty.

NO, I don't remember u......but nice and well managed work....

good work, only thing, merging should be gradual

Creative

nice...................

Nice idea, but you might want to clean up the white edges from the petals. Good luck!

Thanks wazowski for pointing that out, i hope it has improved.

Cool composition! Good job!

Nice message author, love it!

Thank you all so much for your comments, i really do appreciate them.
