Hi
Here's something I had lying around for too long already. A recent homework finally made me finish this one. I'm not too happy with the bg, but I don't think I will touch it again. It would be too much tedious work with almost no effect.
Comments about composition and colours etc are very much appreciated tho, cause I always had some problems with them. Does the picture work?

Thanks in advance.

Wow, I really like this a lot! I think it works very well. The pillow is a very creative way to break up the picture. I especially like the rug.

The only thing I might suggest is making the guy more detailed. He is after all your focus, but the rug seems a little more detailed than him. Which may detract a bit from your character. Some more values or colors on him might make him pop out more.

But overall it's incredible! Much better than any poor attempt from me. I like the background. I wouldn't worry about it. Details are only important where you want the viewers eye to go.

Yes, it's a very nice image.

The thing that stands out to me is that, as Tim says, the rug is a lot more detailed than the rest of the image. It doesn't quite fit, although it's nicely done and gives the image a nice focal point.

Also, the cast shadows are all inconsistant. The angle of the shadows in the foreground is different to the angle of shadows in the background, and the banister seems to have no cast shadow at all.
