Bruce is standing in his study in front of a portrait of his parents, contemplating or whatnot, while the shadow of his true self looms behind him. My original idea was to have Bruce in some sort of everyday situation, say a WayneCorp board meeting, with the shadow behind him but I like this more because it incorporates his dearly departed mom and dad.

I tried to go for a sad, but not too sad, expression on Bruce's face. He is the Batman after all, not some whiny emo kid. :) Hopefully I pulled that one off.

For the painting, I rendered an old couple and then postworked the render to look like a painting (in CS3) and put it in the frame.

I used a bunch of stuff for this render, mostly DAZ products and of course P3DA's awesome superhero cowl (converted to work with David). The figure is the same as the one in my previous Batman Pic (he's actually wearing his costume in this picture but it's invisible :)).

The render was done in Poser 7 with very little postwork. I rendered the background, shadow map, and foreground figure separately and then composited them in CS3. The shadow is actually off because originally one of the ears was in a dark area of the painting and couldn't be scene. I was going to re-render it all but I made this pic for an Animotions challenge and didn't have to time so I just moved things over and tried to fix it with photoshop.

Again, comments, criticisms and suggestion are always greatly appreciated.

Oh, and another thing... the ledge on which the painting is sitting is all messed up. I'm not sure what happened but I think it could have been because I had smooth polygons on when I rendered, any other ideas? I'd like to prevent something like that from happening in the future.

I will most likely go back and work on this to fix some of the technical problems (hopefully removing smooth polygons corrects the ledge issue) and try to make the shadow more ominous and looming. Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! :)

Very well done. With more emphasis on the shadow this would make a great pull out or cover.
