I wonder if the background green shapes would benefit from more specificity, that is, more jungle vine- and leaf-shaped silhouettes, not to any great detail, just shapes more reminiscent of a jungle forest. The green is sufficiently light enough to tolerate more complex imagery. Also, the way the color is, the man's face perhaps could use some more detail. Not a lot. Just a few touches to highlight cheekbones/forehead, well, you're the artist. You would best know what to highlight. The point is, the way the coloring is, it seems to me his face ought to be a bit more revealed. His shirt and his collar are completely lit, so the brim of the hat seems insufficient to cast the whole side of his face in shadow. [ Edited by: TikiFool 2008-04-23 10:44 ]
