The clouds are rather wonderful in this piece, soft yet realistic. I like your concept of the new day break and how hopeful the sunrise is but I think the highlight on the male figure is a little extreme. That being said it's still a lovely work ad very well executed.

Clever interpretation, I think this creates an idea not only of loss but hope, that the world and life continues on even without the most beautiful of people. Well done!

I really like the story you created for the piece and the smoky blue and green effect is rather unique. It feels dusky and poisonous which not many people opted for.
Though I agree with ElementalxArts it feels very dark and silhouette focused, this being said if lightning up the dark compromised the drama of your work then you made the right choice to preserve it.
