should have foot for the statue and base under the finger... still good idea

I agree with Nator, it's too much room in the middle of the image...

Just tuning the head is not quite enough-- now the shadows don;t match the lighting

flip the head horizontally and like alan said, work on matching the shadows

some bad cloning work around the head too.......

i changed a bit ... looks better now ?

Would be nice if the head blended into the neck. Idea is good but perhaps you need a different source. A bald head would be good and would blend nicely. Good luck

Shadows are still wrong. I would suggest a subject where the shadows are not there and you can add them yourself.

Sorry but...I can't seem to see what is up or down here...

There is nothing more closley realted and uo and down then Yin & Yang. Get your blinkers off and educate yourself before commenting

Dont really like this piece or the attitude.

Well thats just tough Barnacle. I don't like some attitudes either so if you don't like it then don't vote on it.People should think about what they are going to say before they open their mouth and if the MODS think it's off theme they can remove it. I will not loose any sleep over it.

Oh, don't worry, we'll still vote.....

hhmm.. interesting entry.. mysterious.. you'll still get the votes if mods don't pull it out..

Actually after reading the guidelines again, it specifies you have to have two subjects in the shot and one is definitely right side up and one is definitely up side down. The fence wouldn't look different either way so technically, you don't have two subjects.

Yeah I actually agree with Barnacle. Go figure???

let the mods do their job, there is no need for micro modding in these contest.
