Photo Manip help/critique

Hey, Im new here, and this is my first attempt at a photo manip. I think it looks ok, but it feels a little empty to me .. I dont know exactly where to go so I thaught one of you might have an Idea or two that would inspire me.

ooo, scary! Looks very good, nothing I don't like. :D

Looks really good man, I love the texture on the face.... looks great Maybe add some text or a name or something on there, but other than that I think it looks great.

Fusion...tell me you did not just suggest ADDING text? Not to be rude, but what would he do/where would he put it. We're constantly telling people to take the lame text off of their images - so why add it?

I think the lighting of the face and the background image match really well. A lot of times lighting is the key problem in photo manips and you pulled it off rather well.

I was just simply suggesting that he give it some kindof a name or something.... :P

I think it would be cool if you made the door look farther away to make it seem more stranded or lost or something along thoes lines.
Better then I can do :D

sorry if this was asked before, but how would you go about doing that effect?

Try googling 'Dark Art Tutorial'. It should return a tutorial from an artist on deviantart.
