Lens flare is the most under appreciated tool. It can give you some pretty sick Fx's if used right but the general consensus is that it's nooby and not to be used.
I love both. Hostages grabbed my eye first, the colours are appealing and it looks good. I also love Rek's even though the head looks weird (as I said last night ).
The head was in there on my first go at it. It made the RETRO hard to see.
:l
I tried to make it like a board or something was in front of his face. Added a little shadows around his chin so the cut didn't look too.. guillotine like.
Oh yeah, if anyone wants the PSD for learning rights they can pm me.

I think the reason people are putting so much emphasis on the head cut is that the text is arched and the cut is not. If the text were on the board in the guy's hands, the board would probably be arched as well. I get what you're going for and I like it, but I think a curved board would not draw as much attention to itself. I definitely like the cut version better than the non cut.

Both immense pieces to choose from,tho my vote goes to Hostage, i generally prefer it and the colours added with the detail (love the dripping ) just appeals to me more than rek's piece, but great job reK aswell, very nice piece, really interseting stock aswell x)
