Interesting idea, but too dark...figure is hardly visible against background.

For me no problem that the statue is dark, i think it fits perfectly with the Tron concept. Something that cóuld do with an improvement are the neon lines. You want to make a hi-tech outfit, but imo these lines should have the hitech eel. Which means smooth tight lines and not wobbly as they look now. I guess you used a simple brush for that, while the use of the pen tool (with the option "stroke path" ) can be thé solution to make cool non-wobbly lines. Check here to read more abouth using the pen tool http://www.tutorialchip.com/photoshop/photoshop-pen-tool-basics-part-1/ (scroll down for the use of stroke path. Btw the 2 pairs of eyes are a bit too much for my taste, or at least the red dots are a bit hard to define as eyes. Good luck!

Good source find, nice colors. GL author!

great idea!

Not bad, but look at the lighting on the source pic & adjust your shadows accordingly. You might consider reducing the amount of empty space around the figure, too.

This was my first contest entry. Glad I checked my messages as it mysteriously disappeared. As I said in my original comment, I used no external sources. The background is just the background of the original picture we were given to work with. I may have touched up some of the scratches on the original background using the clone stamp tools.

The frame around the subject was done making a simple square and applying the gradient tool. Then cutting out a circle with the eliptical selection tool.

Ok, On second thought I see the differences in the background. I am trying to recreate how that was done and the only thing I can figure out is:

Duplicate original picture
Choose the duplicated layer.
Change it to Exclusion blending mode.
Use levels to adjust.
You will see that the light and dark backgrounds are reversed and they are more blue than before.
Merge the layers or take a snapshot then continue modifying the picture.
