Woh, this has changed (again) since I checked last! I must say it’s very much improved now! No crits really. Ok let me try to nitpick something just so you can see that I’m trying 
The rock formation on the upper left seems too smooth and regular in outline. If you back off a bit and squint, it seems to stand out a bit too much because of that.
Art2- Thanx Marlon!
Stahlberg-Yeah I see what you mean, at first I was like what the hell does he mean, now I just caught that, Let me break that shape up a bit! Thanx Stahlberg!
Hi!
Very good work!
I like the compo on the left! I don’t know why, but such is the case! Good luck!
Wow ! great !! It is much improved since my last visit ! Great work ( The colors, the light, the painting, the composition, the way we are invited to enter in the picture … ) !! For my part i prefer the version where the guy is on the left.
everything seems to be looking in order man. the only thing that still bugs me is the guys hand. i dont know why 
good stuff though finish it up and relax!
I like the one on the left. The image is great! I agree that there is something about the hand and I think it’s the area between the third and fourth fingers.
really glad you decided to stick with it ! its REALLY come togther .
( i preffer the one on the left btw )
good luck!

great job so far man, this is really turning out to be a great piece :] also got your IM on MSN, CA’s a little tough on judging, so i need to improve still!
but ya, nice pic bro.
Great work Bryce…
Don’t want to be Mr unoriginal, but yep, I think the composition with the chap on the left works best…
I think the hand looks a bit strange - probably as it looks like he is virtually straining / stretching his hand as if it hurts or something - if the tendons were less defined and his hand was beckoning more I think it would work better…
But hey this looks really something and you are nearly there - hope you don’t mind the thoughts about the hand, but with such a great image, I thought it worth mentioning…
Looking forward to seeing the final high res. version

Hi Bryce, it’s coming along very nicely. For some reason I like the pic on the left. You are a contender for the God Rays club too, they’re good.
As I was looking at your pic it struck me that it is showing the opposite side to the pic I’m doing. I’ve got a Soul looking down a spiral to the depths below, you have us looking from the depths of the darkness to the light above. They might make a good pair. :hmm:
Well done, it’s a great pic.

woohoo! Awsome result. I think the left one, it leads your eye into the painting better in my opinion.
Great work Bryce!!

Wa up bro,
Such improvements on your piece. Colour is great and i dig the composition. I like the left side too for some reason… i think it reads well. I dont know if you are done with the front character yet, but some areas of the clothing looks a bit flat.
Anywho, great job and cant wait to see it done.

Myself, I prefer the comp with the man on the left. Then the flow of the painting is from left to right, which is more intuitive (at least for a a speaker of English and many other languages. I’m sure someone from Israel would disagree with me on that! )
I also find the god-rays to be extremely distracting. They help to emphasize the light pouring in from the top of the screen, which in turn makes me think, “So why do these guys even need lanterns?” Your earlier versions depicted a darker chasm which was spooky and full of mystery. It’s possible that the more light you pour in from the top, the more you’re losing that creepy feeling and getting away from your original intent. Instead it feels to me like you’ve got 2 halves that don’t match, a cheerful sunny top and a dark, mysterious bottom.
Also, as we’ve said several times over, you don’t even need to have god-rays in your picture to be a part of the god-rays club. You just need to say the secret password, which is “god-rays,” and actually not all that secret, come to think of it. Anyhow, don’t mess with your value composition just on our account!
Good luck…
