caught my attention right away very lovely image as you focus is very clear, subject matter very interesting. backgound also very imaginative, My only suggestion would be to crop a bit tighter and draw more attention to your subject matter,

Thank you very much for your review and your suggestion. I am not sure where you want to crop. This is not a photo but a mixed media. The background is made up entirely on a colored canvas were a photo of a Jade carving was placed with 50-85% transparency. The picture of the carved Mayan king is part of the subject matter as the modern Maya [The subject matter is neither of these photos but the confrontation of past and presence]. If I crop above or on the right I would crop of the insignias of the worldly and spiritual power of the king as also the insignias of the mais god. Please specify your suggestion so that I know what part you want to be cropped.

dont crop anything on my account if you like it keep it, and noe that you have better explained the image I understand more the detail that went into it thank you kindly for doing so

Thank you again. It really dosn't matter if I like it or not or how much work I did. This is of no Interest for the viewer. What matters if the message I want to give comes over to the viewer. Your review has showed me that I have at least partly felt. The message got lost because I did not put enough emphasis on the background and to much on the man. The picture seems to be out of level at least for you. So that tells me a lot to learn from. Thank you.

Comment from blackell
This is an excellent combination of the two images. They flow well together, and the connection between the past and present is clear. In a photo the message should be immediate, and it is here.
