i like it the idea ,but the color

Great construction author...well done

Funny !!

Soften the edges, otherwise not bad.

lol

Great blending.

The cables embedded in the amber add a level of authenticity here and look fantastic. The use of human facial elements (while blended well) i think reduce this element of mystery.. but i think comedy was what you were going for.. and you pulled it off well. High marks from me

well built -- would soften the edge of the horseman and its base -- the edge is a bit ragged with stray pixels and the bottom is a bit too straight a line

Edit -- the changes are very well done -- has improved thsi image quite a bit

this also lacks depth IMO

EDIT: Someone want to justify the thumbs down??... it's a fair comment!!!

The white highlights are a bit distracting. In Photoshop, Image>Adjustments>Selective Color>White will help you adjust them down without affecting the rest of the image.

I think this is very cool.. just maybe add some shadows and highlights to give it a bit of "oumf" good luck

JamesD is right, try playing with different blend modes with the amber over the statue to give you different effects, or alternatively try painting in some shadows and highlights.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I modified.

Interesting work, unusual concept.

Really nice blend, the fly looks embedded quite realistically.

The main focus of the image is really excellent.. A very realistic outcome. I agree with you author that the background should be changed, but again, the fly in the amber looks fantastic.

good one =)

Very well done ... it truly looks as if it is lock inside the amber.

Have found a decent back will play with it over the next day or so thanks for the comments so far.

Great =)

Very intelligent choice of background! Good luck author

Great work on the hands. Super idea! Just adds to an already lovely image.

very nice work author...good luck

Great job embedding the fly! perfect use of this source.
