That poor skeleton back there. I wonder what went through his mind at the time? Oh...never mind.

I have to say -the colouring is a tad flat. It's not bad, it you just need to take into account your light sources a bit more. You see, the picture would be very dark, as there are only three light sources, all of which are quite dull - the sconces on the walls, and Lara's torch. So most of the scene would be in dark, with pale highlights. Lara would be slightly backlit, from the sconce on the left of the image, with some more soft light on her left shoulder (our right). All three sources would be reflected on the water, which would be black with orange/white lights. Mostly, the remaining details on the scene would have their prominent features outlined. There is alot pf dynamic lighting n this one, because of the location.
You have got a good technique, just need a bit more practice with lighting, perhaps?
Sorry to make what seems such a negative post, but I do *like* the picture.

I agree, I suppose I still need quite a bit of practice on photoshop. Lighting is a new concept for me when it comes to coloring, if you look at the pencils I belive the light source is more apparent.
