Great photo. I thought of this title, but didn't think I could do the photo that well. Good contrasting background. I might have tried a little closer crop to see if I could get more detail on the sword, but its still well done.

Lovely interpretation of this book. Love the mottled background that totally fits with the image. The shallow DOF is great in this shot. Sharpness is good. In terms of composition, I think it either needs to be centered or more off-center. The way it is now, it is kind of in between which makes it a bit less powerful. Othewise great photo.

I love this host, the off center, the DOF, the lighting is as close to perfect as it could be, the contrast is also close to perfect and the border is not intrusive and doesn't take away from the shot. Started at an 8, moving to a 9

fantastic... but the blade of the sword shows digital flaws. The focus could be sharper too.

The primary focus is lost in the background in parts. like the general composition, althought he rock is taking a lot of focus to the bottom of the frame.

the background you used is very beautiful, what was it ?
the different textures in contrast to the smooth steel works very well :D
