Swag !

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

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

Take care of the shadow to the feet on the left. Because of the light source and the direction of the other shadows it should be extended till the heel of the statue. Besides, also the right side area should be darker, because of the own shadow. It's just my opinion. GL author

How about some real water in the background?
