Description
Original photograph
Mike in Traveler's Gothic Armor
DAZ Wedge Hair
Questor's Norman Sword
Postwork in Photoshop6
The reflection map on the armor is actually the woods in front of the scene you see. That is, after I took this background photo, I went over to the tree, turned around and took another one for the reflection.

What a superb use of reflection!
This is some amazing work. You've integrated the figure perfectly into the background, and that reflection is fantastic.
Very realistic, love it!
Simply Amazing Work..... WOW !!!! Thanks for the explanation.... A well thought out piece of Art and deserves more than an EXCELLENT !
nice work!
Fantastic image. The blending of character and background is seemless and beautiful. Great job.
The detail of the reflection map shows perfectly. It absolutely grounds him there in a way nothng else could do. Superb posing, down the the helmet and sword.
This is excellent - I really like how you've integrated the figure! He actually does look like he's asleep under that tree. Fantastic work!
Well, actually he's dead.
Maybe I should make him pale? Thank you all for your knid remarks!
Kind of figured that death was the only rest a knight really ever got. Back to school, me...I look at this and realize I've still got miles to go. Superb work.
Yes you have really merged the 3d figure and the background very well!
This is GREAT! How well you have melded everything together! Great job!!!

Little touches like that to detail is what makes images like this so awesome! Very well thought out and created! Excellent!

Nice work on the reflections and the shadow. The Knight really blends into this scene.
