Wow, now this is art. Great depth of field, characterizations, all come together with emotion...

Very well done. This little guy needs to star in a "movie short".
Guillermo
The expresion on his eyes is amazing and the DOF gives the image a powerful realism. Great Work ! ;-)

VERY cool!! I still love this character and you did a great job on the lighting and DOF. Did you use any commercial plugins for this?

Wow, this is just wonderful. Truly an excellent example of what can be done with Lightwave when in the hands of a master.

I've always been a fan of your work. Modeling, POV, DOF, lighting, surfacing, composition! This is the stuff to shoot for! :o)

Wow great image. The DOF and lighting bring this little guy alive. Don't most clowns wear makeup?

fantastic!!! i'm loving this. very cool--the facial features are so... well, it's strangely psychotic in a good way, if you know what i mean. i love it!

such a great character, all the little details and quirks just make him come to life, he looks so depressed and even a little tipsy, amazing work!
