April 05, 2011 12:39pm What a wonderous transition, the background you have added compliments the expression of rage, suprresed violence and anger in the models face. The tones and lighting brings out the shine in the metal as well and makes the textures seem more real, the whole image is more alive in the edit. You have done a very good job.
From the image on the right I see a story of war and bloodshed, of a man batteling with his own anger and sanity, teetering on the edge of violence most of the time. Wonderous!
