Very powerful looking Image, Great Job

A powerful image - speaks to the light within and the desire to let it escape. At first I thought it was Jesus, which would have been very fitting. But the face is non descript and could be anyone. The detail is really wonderful and I like the use of muted color which adds to the power of the light. I gave it a 10, Kevin. Nice work. anne :-)

Wow, this is truly incredible. You did a wonderful job with this manipulation it really came together well. My favourite aspect of it is that the background image not only provides a great back drop, but it seems as if your holding the center and unleashing some sort of awesome power. As they have said before a very powerful and moving image. Fav's instantly and it's earned a place on my desktop (Thats pretty hard to do, considering that i normally only put my own creations on, but every so often i'll find a fantastic image such as this one and i put it up) It really reminds of some kind of druid/warlock, but that may be because I read those kind of books along with many other kinds. I have one question, did you just CTRL+B the background to change the colour or did you White/Black it and then colour it?

This is truly a remarkable image, you did a great job with the colors. You also did a great job in making sure that the photo wasn't too opaque and vice versa. All and all, this is a great image and it is now in my favorites.
