It's a good idea, and the result is really good, but you shouldn't use red instead of dark grey/black colors.

Heard "Roxanne" by the Police on the radio while searching for a chop to make.
This image came to mind.

Decided to go for a dark mood to match the song.

Check high res pls.

Amaena [lvl 10] [vp 426] [ 19]:

like the idea..love the police...what does the green lighting say btw?
(48 days ago)

author:

Green light is saying "Escort Services", blurred it out b4 anyone would be offended by it and hoped no one would ask, well that didn't work

p3_sv [lvl 2] [vp 1000] [ 140]:

"I have to tell you just how I feel" when I saw it the first time I thought it was brilliant, after downloading the high res and increasing exposure I think it's genious
(47 days ago)

p3_sv [lvl 2] [vp 1000] [ 140]:

I know I have to change my monitor, but the image still looks dark, I could read the words in quotes "" only after increasing exposure, with all that you get high rate from me

THX p3_sv, I've uploaded a lighter version. Could be my monitor too, got it just 3 days. Darn TFT screens

You haven't done much with the PST source.
(47 days ago)

brett877 [lvl 5] [vp 33] [ 10]:

would have been better with out the guy,he seems a little, um cheezy. But other than that i like the theme and the style.
(47 days ago)

Emma81 [lvl 5] [vp 1000] [ 92]:

You should of spent them hours doing something to the PST source.
(47 days ago)

FairyGardens [lvl 11] [vp 1000] [ 46]:

very powerful. I agree with brett877
(47 days ago)

Emma81 [lvl 5] [vp 1000] [ 92]:

I think its very good, but the use of the source is not so good.
(47 days ago)

giallo86 [lvl 12] [vp 1000] [ 70]:

I think that is very beautiful!!! anyway I think you should use the source that PST gives you to create something...if you put the source just in a corner or so little it seems an image for a "photoshop only" contest

Funny comments ^_^ Ppl thinks that guy should be removed. So.. only thing that they like - ships. Btw i like the way you remake it. Sorry about your hours

smitmartin [lvl 6] [vp 0] [ 4]:

Like the lightning, but should be in background. Colors GREAT! Bit more source needed, but appreciate the amount of work.
(43 days ago)

docx [lvl 8] [vp 990] [ 70]:

I agree with emma that the source is used too less. Altough it's really a fine piece of art and compared to the others I think the man in front completely fits the sphere. Also smitmartin is right about the lightning.
