- Very nice integration of the two images.
  This is sure to place well.
  Only critique would be to remove the added reflection from C3P0's body where no reflective metal is present. The rest of the added reflection is fine.
  
  Really good image only thing I'd like to add is that the mouthpiece looks a bit like its going in his eye
  
  Breathtaking!
  The only thing I'd add is a slight shadow from his hand on the sax
  
  Congratulations on the silver, Terhonen!
  
  Thank´s!! And thank´s for the comments and tips Mee happy!

- Shadows of the skeleton doesnt match with the shadows on the sax , the sax looks like its floating... unless, is it a magical floating prehistoric sax?
  
  Agree with 'japcham', with a little work this could be really good.
  
  Good work, but the sax seems a little blurry compared to the rest of the image.
  
  Superb composition, but sax might be made a tad sharper.

  Go to the tab that says edit entry and backspace your comment, and submit, I think. Cute entry, but the sax seems a bit too skewed, or something.
  
  You can flag a comment (click "flag/alert mods" link) and moderators will remove it.
  
  Nice composition in the entry. Sax looks somewhat skewed though
  
  Thanks for comments and info.
  
  Yeah, after spending the time working on the squirrel, I cut corners with the sax and should have 'played' (get it, HA) with it more than I did.
