I love an idea, candlegirl goes to my CoGI . One thing goes bad - picture is a bit noisy and blurry. Mabe it will help if you will upload it again after saving jpeg with maximum qualty? And chek out this wide stripe of black in top of image.i can clearly see a border between this two blocks.

I made it blurry like that on purpose.....a drug induced haze.
Thanks for pointing out the other things.
I got rid of that black band and sharpened the foreground a touch. I also took the noise out with a great technique.....that i will soon write a tutorial for.

I like this one because it has strong meaning, I especially like the candle - great job.

Nothing nice about his stark image. Heroin is a killer of families and people and def should not be taken lightly..

r1k3r, this image isnt supposed to be nice. Its suppossed to provoke thought. Isnt that the idea of art? I do not condone heroin use and know people that have died of it. Unfortunately the stark reality is that its widely used, and this is how i see its enticement. The candle represents the victim as the dealer melts her life away.
