You could not know it but you have helped my photographs a lot, just wanted to take this oppertunity and say thanks for that.

This is also pretty outstanding work, well done

Cool work, great point of view, nice colors,well painted.+8

I keep forgetting that you can paint, too! Here's a toast to you for submitting in more than one media, maybe I will have the courage to do the same someday. My eye is attracted to the kimono-like sleeve in the foreground, I love the way the crease is carried through the repeating folds. Very distinctive look.

Omni & Sally: That's a test tube - I hope.

very intresting the lightning, I like it.

Very cool angle and pose. A very challenging pose for sure and you pulled it off nicely. The background is nicely done and gives of the atmosphere of a atomic laboratory.

The piece does suffer from the over-softness that is ever present in digital painting, I know, its all through my stuff Try sharpening some of the shadows up some and try not to make them so diffused as it looks unnatural. Also from the brightness of the colour being cast on him from the bottle I would brighten up the bottles reflection on the table slightly since the table looks quite reflective.

Great stuff as usual from ya and can't wait to see some more stuff.

Big thanks to all of you for critiques! Since this picture was submitted on the last minute of the contest, it was unfinished. Still I am working on it (can't help myself. Sorry! o_O)

DreIn - Totally agree with you. I am going to put a texture of cloth on the suit soon. That will decrease overall fuziness of the body. Also I have slightly decreased halo around lights.

flowjoe: Glad it has helped you. Curently I am writting three articles for big czech photographic server. And there's big probability it will available in english as well - at least text about Cokin filters and Lightpainting.

KittyKat: Hehe, yes, he didn't button it correctly since he is weird and crazy (who would believe to make atomic clock this way ?).

Slapo (via ICQ): Thanks for pointing out anatomic issues. Corrected them

Omni & Sally: Is it more clear right now ? Before that it was ... uhm ... don't know ... maybe something weird

Cool perspective and very original subject!

Wow, Robert, this is good. i really like the style used in this. the perspective is really interesting and adds to the dynamics of the composition. Also, I think you nailed it on the lighting.

good job.

Love the concept, it almost looks like he is trying to create time.

Good work !

Excellent painting, great job on the colouring! I think there is something wrong with his face (the cheeks looks a little odd) but everything else is perfect

nothing to crit, very awesome perspective!

8/8

I'd like to compliment you on the hair, aswell as the realistic elements of the right hand index finger and left hand.

Nice job mate.
