Thank you Wragg for your appreciation. If I understood correctly should I have added more "trees" namely more crosses intended as "trees of pain" ??
No, I think it's perfect as it is, Hammers. I was referring to the fact that there is only one actual tree, but it looks like someone has added some 'artificial ' ones.

a) Manipulation 
b) source : "The Martyrdom of Saint Andrew" by the italian painter Domenico Gargiulo (Naples 1609-1675) aka Micco Spadaro.
This manipulation succeeds by keeping the modifications relatively simple. Here, the original figure of St. Andrew has been removed by digital over-painting in sympathy with the background, and partly concealed by the inserted crux figure. Close attention has been paid to figure scale and a consistent lighting direction. The cherubs have also been painted out of the sky.
The manip has been produced in a small scale and in low resolution. I find it much easier to work on a larger canvas, in considerably higher resolution, if possible. The new crux figure should appear with similar qualities of contrast, saturation and overall definition to the figure of St. Andrew in the original painting. I thought it might be possible to adjust these values to make the new figure look like part of the original scene.
I hope you will have no objections to these minor alterations. Your picture is very good, and this makes the alterations quite easy to perform.
I look forward to seeing your next manip. Well done, Hammers, and Happy Christmas!

Hammers, I agree with Bob absolutely! In fact, I think you've improved on the original! Beautiful image!

Thank you
Very good concept and a nice job of altering the background to fit in the female martyr. Working with these paintings is rather fun, but Bobinder is correct in his note that using a larger, high resolution image to start does help, as well as making it easier to get the resolution and definition on any new subjects you want to add.

At first glance I thought that the guy in the lower left corner pointing his finger looked like @Wragg .
Very nice work, but she's going to lose an arm or two from that axe guy. Makes you think the other chap on the right should have brought a bigger bowl. Could get messy.
Well, he does go in for these things.At first glance I thought that the guy in the lower left corner pointing his finger looked like @Wragg .

Thank you Jpllyrei for appreciation. As for the size of the bowl held by the guy on the right one could rather fancy that he intends only to gather some 'precious blood' dripping from the Martyr's wounds.
