Nice idea, and I don't mind the oe part of the arm, it goes well.... did you use your own stock?

Yeah, kind of a rule of mine that i don't use any stock images other than ones i've took myself, it's not yours if it belong to someone else lol.

I really like this concept. However, I find the overexposure distracting from the concept. Also wish the "Life" was a bit sharper.

Yeah i agree with the sharpness of the "life" part, it was done with wool (wan't to keep it the theme) but i couldn't get it to appear sharp in when taking the photo. The overexposure is kindof don on purpose i wanted to give the feeling of life (light) leaveing me.

top score for the idea man!

love the concept dude, but have to agree that the over exposure can be a bit too distracting. still, doesn't stop it grom being great

Very cool work!

fantastic idea and image. very strong impact

Great idea, very well executed!

nice concept

My goodness. The concept first escaped me, so focused I am on the little details. I love seeing original work. As you said, nearly everything is done. It's up to us to do it from a different angle! Good job on the manip. I like that you did not leave it simply as a photo but enhanced the hand/arm as well. The color is striking..my only advice would be for the spelling of LIFE. Shadowing would add height to the yarn and contribute to the realism.

really nice!

perhaps the photo is overexposed, but it's a good idea, and a nice realisation, composition of the pic is good!
