Minor flaw is the desert eagle. Never used in combat, and first produced in the 80's

Edit: I just wanted to add that this is an astonishingly good source photo. Great find /u/workingat7

I thought it would be a good image to use and I'm impressed by the quality entries produced. I knew it wouldn't be an easy one to simply copy/paste in, due to the contrast of the light so it's great seeing how people use the colour/lighting in different ways.

Me too! A lot quality work here. I've never upvoted this many in a weekly before!

The lighting on the original is almost delicious.

u/graphleek Sep 02 '15
I'd like to see the real original, this is obviously heavily 'shopped. Which is kind of weird, since it's taken by a really good photographer.

Awesome image source for sure. I've seen lots of street art submissions in these weekly battles, but the good ones stand out. Great job!

Edit: changed the lighting and color filter.

I think you unintentionally masked the filter on part of the image. Check to the right of the lantern.

This was my initial idea too! You did a far better job than I could have as well.

u/DrWankalot Sep 03 '15
The excellent source photo does help inspire these ideas! Really fun working on it.
