I like the strong emotion and lighting, rendering of this piece, but there are some elements which I find confusing... Is that a large butterfly/ flower in front of the first character? Also, I suggest moving the composition around so that things aren't placed dead center...

Wow, I have to agree totally with softocean there. I didn't even realize there was a bug thing in the foreground until I read his post. I thought the "destroyed" robots butt was glowing. The lack of contrast really makes it hard to see.

Another vote for 'didn't see the bug' compositionally it's in an akward place to begin with.

The 'speed vision' does add an instant burst of interest and intensity, but I think it only works when it's at the very edges; the speed blur almost seems to 'crop' the focal point and creates a border which totaly deadens the intensity.
