I know it's a surreal picture (and anything odd can take place) but I think the shadow should connect to the body (and the shadow would go out more to the left...if the cloud is the light source). The person looks a little 2D, maybe make him darker or play with his shading more. If it's surreal...perhaps you should take out the bird and have some large fish swimming through the air (or something else out of place)...Just some suggestions. P.S. Don't overdue the lens flares. It works ok now, but don't add them to everything you put in your landscape. Thanks for posting
I saw your first one and think you've come up with a good idea with the addition of the person and giving him a jolt from that lightning bolt adds some interesting drama...the touch of color with that bird in the sky also looks good...nicely done...Good Luck in the contest.:Pat.
Wow...talk about a bit of a scarey thing...I hope the lightening makes him into something wonderful, and not scarey..I agree with the bird thing..change it to something different, maybe even a dragon....
