Funny stuff! Now I'm watching a soap opera (here in Brazil) where he is Winning and she is Losing... For a while!

Good job

nice image!

Great! maybe a bit of burning/ shadow under the hands?

Edit: looks good now!

Oh dear, thanks, there is a shadow under there but i just softened it a bit too much, thanks!

very nice visual.. good luck

The black stroke around the grades at the right part doesn't look good, maybe try to use a gray color to match more the metal.
The hand's shadows on the metal are not looking good, try to make it more realistic. Great idea overall, love it

Thank you! I think you're right actually, i just imagined thet since the light was coming in from the left there would be a certain amount of shading, thanks!!

It's a good idea, but the extension of the arms doesn't work. The edges go abruptly from sharp to blurry, and there's no hair on the extended parts.

great

good idea! i liked

Thanks!

shadows need work, the arms are way too blurry, where the railing falls into the background is too dark

I added a soft glow effect when the image was done by taking a version of the image and blurring it by about 7 pixels, then changing the belnd mode to soft light, if you're referring to the blur of the arm itself, i was trying to show where the camera was focussing when the picture of the actual source was taken. Thanks for the comment.

very nice!!

Thanks

realistic!!!

wonderful idea, I love it. The arm part is a bit blury on the edges, other than that wonderful creation good luck to you.

it looks great.

this image has an interesting feel about it. love the fact you have taken on board the feed back to improve your entry. WELL DONE authorl.

I like this one... but the shadowing just aint doing it for me though... but good work
