Coooool! Nice work.

Nice idea -- like the transition to the water -- maybe mask out where your yin & yang should be covered by the eyelid along with a bit of original iris showing in the upper right which is a bit distracting

The eyelid is still not covering the upper edge of the yin-yang symbol. Look at your source pic.

It looks good but many small problems can be seen in hi-res. The horse is well masked but the grass should be also infront of the hoofs. The castle is more blurred than everything behind it, so in my opinnion everything behind it could be a bit blurred too.

Looks really good. There is a bit yellow from the sun on the upper hand. Otherwise really well executed.

Thanks! The hands are stone so are meant to be slightly reflective.
