The best art always comes from moment like that, heh. Saw a portfolio the other day from a dude, and his best image there was a painting of his dog who had just passed away.
Very nicely done mate. I think however that the lines and the text are taking the focus a bit out of the image...either because they are too bright in relation to the image or the image is too dark in relation to the text (slight difference there). I think more the latter...I went into Photoshop and did 25 contrast 10 brightness and it was a lot better. Apart from that
