Gnomon December 2006

Here is my entry for the Gnomon Workshop December 2006 image competition. Took me quite a while to understand lighting, composition, texture, shadows, etc. Got to thank Nicolas for the help he rendered to me on Friday. I told him that I wanted to hit the computer with my head and he very calmly reminded me that I need my head... Ha ha ha... well it's been quite a journey of self-discovery through painting in Adobe Photoshop.
