Knight in shining armor and the sword in the stone that defeated him, now set in a display (5 years and 3038 days ago)

It lacks a bit of depth and shadows on the side of the rock, but the idea is excellent and nicely executed.

You could have extended the arms downward to go behind the rock. (You still can...). I don't think they had short sleeved armor back in the day.
Also, the glow around the sword should be different than the glow around the armor to help it pop.

author says:

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I cant get the arms extended, and it be the quality I like. It just becomes a pixelated mess, and throws the rest off.
Thank you both very much for your critique, and I will try harder on the next contest.

You know you can edit your entries until the contest closes right?
IMO, you lack background, I know it's extra work ( and my least favorite part of chopping) but it adds a great effect, why not try some paved stone on the floor and placing the scene in a catacomb, ruins, cracked earth, on a hill with mountains around -I'm brainstorming right now.

author says:

Yeah I know. Call me lame or any other name that you would like. maybe I'm over the top in my line of thinking but I feel that I should stick with my original submission the way I submitted it. Believe me this isn't because I don't value the critique because I treasure it. It's exactly why I compete. Back to my point though I feel that I learn a greater lesson if I suffer the consequences now instead of constantly retooling what I have already presented. I feel I should have taken these things into account before I presented. They are all great observations/ suggestions and I wished I would have thought of them myself. You better believe I will on the next one. That's for dang sure.
I was actually thinking of placing it in a museum I just couldn't ever reproduce what I was envisioning. I will learn with time and the great feedback that I get here.

It's cool author, no one's calling you lame, and you have some nice adult-ish arguments there, with which I don't totally agree, lol.

author says:

Yeah I can see both sides of the argument, take the advice, improve it, win. You know what I might start a thread in the forum after the contest has finished because I would really like to hear all the views on it. Maybe I am out of line in my stead fast and most likely over the top manner of competing.

Howdie stranger!
