I like the concept behind this piece, and although it is a pretty solid manip, it does seem quite blurry, which I'm sure was used in some areas on purpose to make up for not having quality image for that area, or just a mediocre job of blending. You did say it was an older work in the description. It is awful blurry...I'd say even an unsharp mask would help it a little bit.
sorry for getting back to it so late, but i thought the dove could be bigger, if you made more space on top. it would also make this piece look a bit less squeezed and increase the impact. i just read binaryvision's comment, i was thinking exactly the same about the motion blur too.

keith I agree, I really could do with tweaking this. Its an old piece and my whole technique has changed now very much. Thank you so much for your comments.
