This is the bomb

Great job, I like the reflections and I like the glow given out but you should try out experimenting with backgrounds that will stand out and be noticable, also as Alpha said "a hideous border". I agree with that.

Raytracing is more impressive to n00bz... its like the first thing a n00b does in photoshop is put lens flares all over that place.

I think raytracing should only be used to emphasize a texture set. Right now the only thing awesome about this picture is the head, and I think raytracing actually diminishes the texture, like glosses it over.

Also, maybe the wrists should be contracted to look more like fists if that's what youre going for

This is more or less an embarrassing joke at this point.
Pose, Border, Ray tracing..... Really?

Sorry to everyone who got hurt and or frustrated ;_;
