The guys, the feedback is most welcome.

Freakbear, I had a lot of fun with this one, and tried some new approaches like aligning all the eyes on the same horizontal line. I also tried to make this a dynamic moment on time leaving the viewer a lot of freedom to decifer the womens thoughts by their facial expressions. Your comparison to the "Last Supper" made my day.

Yumyum, I'll have to consider the distracting boldness of the eyepatch. I thought it would lend balance against the heavy blacks on the tiki on the left side.

Rodeo, "the woman in red" was a classic long before the Matrix, but yeah, it does make a great focal point.

Barnett, I think the "eye patch chick" became my favorite as well when I kept adding more and more pirate characteristics.

A belly shirt at Trader Vics? Sacrilege!

Tikifish, you know there's always one in the crowd. Kind of like the one usher at a wedding wearing red shoes. This is someone in need of a master, perhaps someone like yourself, to set her right. The look the woman in red throws her, and her leaning away, says that her slobbish demeaner is not exactly appreciated.

Bobby Peru, They used a lot of primary colors in Kill Bill, like Uma in her solid yellow leather motorcycle outfit.

good job raffertiki...i like it too...looks like a happy tiki

Conga, yeah, I wouldn't mind being the first guy to wander into this scene.

Thanks again all.
