why does the blur start so suddenly going upwards? there's far too much empty space fam
posing needs work too

Very very nice, personally I'd of moved it over a bit so the axe blade was a bit more in the centre of the frame but apart from that it's pretty good
Between you and me, I didn't want to have Jacket in the frame too much because then I'd have to go through the effort of finger posing ;)

well it still works well, it's just a bit annoying to see the majority of the frame being blurred when the object of focus takes up a very small minority of the frame, you could still of done it just by moving the axe shaft further up his hand in order to get more of the object in frame and put more emphasis on it

Don't forget the lights.

That mirror has a light above it, use it as natural rim lighting.

Posing wasn't the focus, I was experimenting on Photoshop with smoke effects. Don't have any good ones, so I used a grey brush and then used Maximise; followed by Twist and a bit of warping.

There is a smoke particle effect in SFM, it's pretty good.
