							I do believe the light the bull soul is heading toward would be more intense than the sunlight, if the sun affects it at all. As souls never ascend into the sky in real life, we can't know for sure.

							Cool idea! I think it was necessary to have same light source on barn and bull. It's enough easy to change the light & shadows on the barn. The bull needs contrast, some white parts around edges really pure white and a little more contrast on shadows.

							 You  know  what  would  have  been  really  cool,  is  if  you  had  the  cow  freshly  slaughtered  and  the  cow  spirit  right  above  it.

							 Great  minds  think  alike  Shane  ;)  That  was  my  first  image  search,  but  the  only  dead  cows  that  actually  looked  dead,  made  me  sad  :(  I'm  not  here  to  make  people  sad  ;)

							 I  guess  since  you've  invited  critique,  I'll  give  it  a  go.  1  (v.  minor)  would  be  that  it  still  looks  like  concrete  cow  to  me.  Easily  fixed  though.  2  There's  quite  a  lighting  mismatch  as  far  as  I  see.  The  cow  is  lit  by  hard  light  from  the  left.

							bigbuck
							 
							 ....and  even  though  you've  added  your  own    light  source  to  suit,  it  does  not  match  the  lighting  on  the  barn  which  is  clearly  central  and  behind  the  photographer.  Anyway  my  2c  worth.

							 One  of  the  few  times  Marco  made  sense,  but  MAN  his  vision  was  so  different  from  mine.  Still  I  improved  it...  photoshopcontest.com...

							 Thanks  big  buck.  I'll  see  what  I  can  do  to  remove  that  concrete  texture  without  blurring  it  too  much.  I  wanted  the  heavenly  light  to  really  only  affect  the  soul.  The  ambient  lighting  shouldn't  affect  it,  IMO  ;)  
						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 | 
						
							cringer8
							 
							 Thanks  Marco  via  Eve  ;)  I'll  cut  down  on  the  opacity.  Once  I  take  care  of  the  concrete  issue,  that  should  be  easier  to  do  without  having  it  look  weird  :)

							 I  think  the  idea  is  good,  but  the  image  has  no  impact  on  me.    It  doesn't  pleases  my  eyes,  not  sure  how  else  to  describe  it.

							 lol,  kinetic,  that's  okay,  but  i  don't  what  to  do  with  that  ;)  What  do  you  like?  Maybe  I  can  add  it  in  there  :D  
						 |

							 I  have  no  idea  :-)    It's  just  a  visual  thing.

							cringer8
							 
							 It  could  be  the  compostion.  The  image  lacks  good  balance;  focal  point  is  off-center  and  too  small.  I'll  try  cropping  it  to  a  vertical  image...  
						 |

							Eve
							 
							 Oh,  I  thought  you  wanted  it  to  look  like  the  clouds.  Your  lighting  is  wrong.  The  light's  coming  from  behind  the  viewer  so  the  bull's  side  should  be  light.  
						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 | 
						
							cringer8
							 
							 Eve,  I  gave  that  a  shot,  but  it  kind  of  washed  out  the  subtle  details  that  let  you  know  it's  a  bull.  This  statue  didn't  really  have  a  lot  of  depth  or  detail  to  work  with  :/  Maybe  I  need  more  practice  adding  light...

							 lol  gramps,  it's  back  there.  In  the  source,  there's  only  a  teensie  little  bit  of  it  showing  and  my  additional  light  has  blended  it  right  in  :)  You  can  still  the  hoof,  though.

							 Thanks  Claf.  I  know  what  you  mean.  Since  Eve  suggested  the  same  thing  I  tried  some  things,  but  my  methods  could  not  achieve  the  unity  in  light  I  wanted.  I  think  Zoeon  is  right;  I  should  have  used  a  different  background  :/

							 Also  we  don't  feel  yellow  angel  ring  enough  luminous...  but  not  easy  to  do,  something  around  lighter  yellow  and  maybe  very  soft  a  little  larger  glow  around...
