Appreciate all of your comments.
The arm guard on the lead character does need to go doesn't it... and probably the arm repositioned as well.
Airflamesred - appreciate the reference to one of my favorite flics - that's the type of feel i was hoping to achieve.
Fog i might try, but i want to keep the image a bit crisp, but will see how it does.

And... what is bugging me the most - or at least concerns me the most - no one's so far mentioned so maybe it's not worth the concern i feel..........

best to you,
