WOW very good use of highlights and I can help but notice these style designs ar really gaining in popularity, but must take a heck of a long time to complete them! File size must be enormous?!!

is this all done in vector? it looks like there is jpeg photo used in the backgroung!

I'm guessing that it is initially done in a vector program and retouched in Photoshop.
Beautiful work, too
