Too dark, and the lighting is off. The figure should be showing a backlight glow around the edges of her, and the viewer would not be able to see just patches of skin, she'd be all in shadow (to match the rocks on either side)...

Nice concept, but the execution is unrealistic and inconsistent with that background...Sunset or sunrise (or an angled moon on one side) would better illuminate the subject.

lovly.......

nice work author...good luck

Not enough contrast, chick should stand out. That's why instead of the same type of dirt/rock, you should have used white marble or something different from the background.
Or make the moon behind the girl and that would make it perfect since you have white vs black = great contrast, great impact.
Full moon also equals shadows.
But this is a good start & you'll get better man, I'm sure.

love the color mood author very well composed! good luck!

Very good, great job on those reflections

It would be awesome if you could add some ground displacement, they sure look heavy and would make an impact or a groove so something! Id be totally convinced then!

oh wow!!!its beautiful

well shuck my corn and call me grits... very well done (though I do want a Masquerade mask to show up).. just kidding.. wonderful and creative.. good luck

nice mood

c00l!

Pretty cool concept with excellent mood.

Really nice composition.

I am always amazed with images like that... Great colors and mood!

very very powerful image...love the mood and the reflection in the water is master piece....best of luck author

I like the mood there ...good luck author!

Without doubt, my favorite! Wonderful work, loved the color and the atmosphere.

Incredible work and very original use of the source! Love the mood and overall feel of this piece and your reflection in the water just puts it over the top! Definite fav!!!

Wow..worked well on Lighting, Shadows, Reflection and Mood. Good luck buddy.

I soooo like this one.

i love the mood..fantastic..

Beautiful image....the perspective is just perfect.... a perfect win.....GL

Wonderful piece. Keeping it monotone adds in the beauty of how the wheels are focused on their mundane travel. The blackbirds are a wonderful addition.

Stone exodus through the desert Great idea

nice , and congrats on second

Congrats!

Congrats!!

congratulation...

Good concept! I'd expect the blood to be a little darker though.

Good luck

LOL...the blood is blood red...what else do you think it should be? Do you not get the irony that realistic looking blood could come from stone?

Is there pure Black ? I am asking this question all the entire entries. Please tell me if there is pure black & tones of red not black.

nice one...gl

I think you did ok.... forming the stone man..... good luck.

Fascinating image. Not sure if I like the texture ... it is great in the background but over the figure it is not quite working. Sorry I am so late with my comment (I was sick) ... I know there is nothing you can do now but this is a very interesting image and I liked it a lot so had to let you know my only minor problem ... maybe for next time ;-D

You did a good job. I like the colors and the making of the stone man.... good luck.

I have always been afraid of people with small heads (brains) and huge bodies

very nice mood....gl
