Out of the box, splendid turn, simple &effective. I hope it get's on top!

This is very creative, author. Love the colors and added mountains and frame. Is there a source for the Chinese characters?

@ greymval. Thank you for the awesome feedback. It's greatly appreciated.
@ pearlie. No there isn't. The chinese characters is just a translation from a translator. But now that I think of it google translate would be a source. That's a great point. I'll add it now. Thanks for the comment.

Absolutely spectacular use of the source~A fave for sure and high marks Best of Luck

Thanks so much Christy.

Awesome ! Love everything about it.

Stunning imagination! A fav from me, best of luck

It took me a second. Then I saw it! Nice work! GL!

I love it when a tutorial is adapted in a different way Very clever author! Nice work.

Edit:

Thanks, Matteo!

Wicked cool!!!

Great image, I agree with ponti its nice to see a tutorial credited but with your own stamp on the image.... great result !

Thank you, guys!

@Josh: yeah!

@ Gino: actually I can't follow a tut from beginning to end (perhaps it's lack of experience or capacity), so I try to adapt it to obtain the results. But I think it's better that way, I prefer not to make copies, just learning how to do.

One of my favorites in the contest

Also nice SBS

Good imagination. A better SBS would help, but GL...plenty of time to add one.

This is very lovely!

Very nice work author...well done

Congrats

Congrats!

Congratulations!

Congrats!!

i think you should make this more gruesome, because a simply hole isn't interesting! love the concept!

Agrees with crystle but don't overdo it. Just some blood dripping from him mouth and a puddle of it below his head would be a nice touch and to make it even more effective, keep the blood red and the rest of the image as it is. GL!

Thanks for your input guys. Tried the blod dripping from mouth but really didn't look right. I think your both right with the blood, and keeping it red does give it the image a bit more impact. Thank you.

Nice use of source image. Have you tried it without the bullet hole? GL.................JB

Well done with the desaturation, it really makes one to look at the dead body.

Nice use of the smoke

oh, nice! Yeah! See? It's a nice touch. You definitely improved your vote from me. GL!

That's it....Top entry author...well done

Graphic but well done.

the blood puddle's perspective doesn't seem to be consistent with that of the concrete

Expected top 3 with this, well done

Ha Ha Ha...nice. I like it.

haha. Best of Luck!

Love the expression...are you talking to me???...
Well done!

Smoking!

nice job.............

He-he, funny Mr. Bad Guy
