Agreed, and the character is well posed to eliminate most of the usual
Poserish flaws.  He obviously spent some time working out the hands, but it
paid off, they look very good..

I thought that at first, but the more I looked at it I decided that more
stuff in the picture would have detracted from the puzzle.  I get the
feeling the challenge is in the enigma of painting the pieces.

Yes, they add another enigma to the puzzle.

The image is well composed, and the modeling of the puzzle pieces, candles

together perfectly.

An excellent image.  This was my top pick for the round.
