very nice!

very nice use of image

i seen that effect in a online tut. the only difference was the smoke was coming form a lit cigaret.

Thanks for reminding me i forgot to post that link but yeah that is where i got my insperation http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/photo-effects-tutorials/manipulate-smoke-to-create-hyper-real-images/

Nice work! I might have liquified the chin to make it bleed into the smoke stream more, but it's a good job.

Nice work.

Great work!!

Congrats!!

I'm glad you won! Congratz Man! much better than my own lol

Starts with D and ends with D. Nice imagery...almost think that a nice ornate, old doorknob would work well here too...and yes it's rather spooky. Great job!

Nice and spooky! I might have put just a few more highlights on the skulls, but that's just me...good luck!

You should have put a big skull knocker on the door. Just a suggestion.

Great job. I do agree with jawshoewhah a skull knocker would be a nice touch.

very good

Truly haunted!

Nice entry

Great image.. it really stands out.. high marks!

Skulls are tiny compared to rib cages...

Think more surreal

What a scary place!

I think the ribcages are supposed to be hills. Very nice image and very creative take!

bf2015...yes you have the right idea...the rib cages are a landscape element in this vast, dry, desolate wasteland of bones.

surreal image author. well done.

Fantastic!

Congrats for your third place, PhilNit!

Congrats! for 3rd place

Congrats! Very cool image indeed!

congrats!

Congrats!!

It's very good, but has a lot more potential, perhaps experiment with dodging and burning to create depth

looks cool

Interesting...not sure why it would need a cane...where's the other arm?
Edit: Yep, looks better with 2 arms.

Neet!

cool

Amazing! Love the wings

yep i agree, wings are very well done.

nice entry

Good blend & color work! The leg shadow is heinously wrong, though...look at the shadows in the background image...light is from the right.

Fixed the shadow CMYK, I hope it is right now.

Nope. It should be horizontally from right to left as the shadow at left of the figure.

Adjusted it some more. This is how it will stay (right or wrong) as I won't get time to do any more to it. Thanks for your input CMYK as always.

very creative work, good blend

Thanks for the fave darkshellie23

In HR, the left side of the coat by the arm blends in with the background but still a good image.

so cool

Jawshoewhah it was remnents of the color overlay which I have now corrected. Nisha, thanks for the fave.
