Okay. I'm done. I decided to submit before I made yet more changes. I will never be happy with this, so here it is! I had torches on the building at one point and realized it changed the entire lighting dynamic, so I killed that idea. I had fog too. Didn't like it.
the background photo is mine. I am linking the moon, figure, and tombstones shortly. (5 years and 1269 days ago)
He was a guy like many... he did not know about a curse that haunted his family for generations. His father died of unknown illnesses. His mother never told him about his fate... until one day, he walked in the woods, and there was a bright full moon shinning above, and he started to feel the transformation.... that is when he became a killer....

Maybe sharpen the teeth a bit (Simple Hard smudge, gentle liquify, or cloning the tips into points, at the moment they look like chisels, which is a bit unsettling, but sharpening them would knock it over the top so it looks more carnivorous, ROAR.. great thinking and I love the shading 
really disturbing LOL
You know when you have an image like this... you want to add this and that, and at the end you forget something...You are right will do the sharpening as you say. Thanks for observation....
Right find of sources and blend. Good one author. Really scary and disturbing. Good luck
Thanks Anoop...
Scary & well blended. I wonder how he shaves...
He does not have to shave.... this transformations happen only when there is a full moon.... not often... thanks.

Well author, I'm not sure if my screen... but it appears very dark and hard to see...just check please...GL
Thankyou - I've checked it out on a different monitor and yes it was pretty dark! Updated.
And time to calibrate my monitor!
I think you may want to mess with the color balance here and give the overall image a more blue tone. I think that would really make this piece look like it was taken at night. Good luck author!

Nice image. I like the strong contrast. Nice work on the reflection too.
Only the background images are too soft compared to the foreground and sky.
Thank you very much.

I see from your SBS a lot of work was done but I think the final image is too dark to appreciate the details (and I'm using a 27" high res monitor). You could brighten it up a bit and still maintain the drama.
Well Spaceranger, I did lighten this. LOL, you wouldn't believe how many versions I have. I lost a lot of stone detail dropping it into my photo. I also had tombstones that I spent a long time shading for the environment, and then i lost my link and spent over an hour trying to search it. I finally said %$#@ it. I really like my torches, but they required extensive highlight changes on the building trim, so I nixed that too. I can't say it hasn't been fun!
I know what you mean, I do the same thing, trying all kinds of versions of my image. This looks much better, we can see the details and it's still dramatic. Too bad about the tombstones, I assume you tried searching your history. Even without the tombstones this deserves a good score IMHO.
I accidentally deleted my history at work yesterday. It was a circus of calamities with this thing. When I resubmitted this morning I realized part of a layer was left visible in my revision that looked like amateur hacking.
This looks much better than the original dark version. But the moon is gone, I don't know if that was intentional or not
Geez! Tripped up by rushing again. I'm putting the moon back! Thanks!
Yeah. I like this image better, the lighting looks good. Good luck!
Sooper Moody! Love it
You did a good job.... congratulations for 4th....
