Amazing detail in this Dipper allthough i would suggest toning down the contrast a little as it seems very harsh.
Those feet look allmost alien!

I have to agree with above. On my screen it looks a tad strange. Almost like a cardboard cutout pasted on the background?

Is this flash?
There is something about this which does not gel. Could it be flash and daylight ??
